CVE-2024-6144

Unauthenticated code execution via multipart boundary overflow

Published Jun 18, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Stack-based buffer overflow in Actiontec WCB6200Q 1.2L.03.5 allows network-adjacent attackers to execute code via an HTTP request. The HTTP server copies an attacker-controlled multipart boundary into a fixed-length stack buffer without validating its length. No authentication is required, but the attacker must reach the appliance from an adjacent network; successful exploitation runs code in the HTTP server context.
