CVE-2023-33638Network attack vector

Authenticated code execution via SSID form overflow

Published May 31, 2023 · Updated Jan 10, 2025

Stack overflow in H3C Magic R300 R300-2100MV100R004 allows remote authenticated users to execute code through a crafted 5 GHz SSID form request. Public reporting identifies the Edit_BasicSSID_5G handler at /goform/aspForm but does not disclose the affected parameter or specific unsafe buffer operation. Administrative access to the router's web interface is required; successful exploitation grants control in the application's context.
