CVE-2024-48168Network attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via HNAP function stack overflow

Published Oct 14, 2024 · Updated Oct 15, 2024

Stack overflow in the HNAP service of D-Link DCS-960L 1.09 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code over the network. The named sub_402280 function overruns its stack while processing untrusted HNAP input; public material does not identify the responsible field or copy operation. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation can fully compromise the camera.
