CVE-2024-48713Public exploit

Router crash via unchecked whitelist name

Published Oct 15, 2024 · Updated Oct 16, 2024

Stack overflow in TP-Link TL-WDR7660 firmware 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to crash the router via a crafted whitelist name. The wacWhitelistJsonToBin handler accepts an oversized name value in wlan_access white_list JSON without checking its length, overflowing the stack. The published request requires access to the router's management interface and a valid session token; successful exploitation makes wireless access and the administrative page unavailable.
