Authenticated code execution via expanding PSK encoding
Published Jul 8, 2024 · Updated Nov 4, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in Realtek rtl819x Jungle SDK 3.4.11 allows remote authenticated users to execute code through boa HTTP requests. In getInfo, translate_control_code expands special characters from the stored WPA-PSK into a fixed 200-byte stack buffer without checking the resulting length. Elevated management access is required to set the crafted PSK; rendering pskValueUnmask can overwrite control data, crash boa, or execute code.
