Unauthenticated code execution via http_download buffer overflow
Published Jan 30, 2025 · Updated Aug 27, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in Silicon Labs Gecko OS allows remote attackers on an adjacent network to execute code through http_download. The command copies user-supplied data into a stack-based buffer without validating that its length fits the destination. No authentication or user interaction is required, but the attacker must reach the device from an adjacent network; successful exploitation executes code in the device context.
