Unauthenticated code execution via oversized session cookie
Published Nov 26, 2024 · Updated Nov 4, 2025
Stack buffer overflow in Sharp and Toshiba Tec MFP web interfaces allows remote attackers to execute code through a crafted cookie. The HTTP handler copies an oversized MFPSESSIONID cookie into an approximately 639-byte stack buffer in the main program, corrupting control data. No authentication or user action is required, but the attacker must reach the device web interface; exploitation can crash the main process or execute code.
