Code execution via unchecked Cookie length
Published Sep 26, 2025 · Updated Sep 26, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in Wavlink WL-WN586X3A firmware M86X3A_V240730 allows remote attackers to execute code via a Cookie header. The sub_400B90 function in ExportAllSettings.cgi fails to limit Cookie data before a controllable buffer write. An attacker must reach the router's web interface from an adjacent network; exploitation can corrupt memory, crash the device, or execute code.
