Unauthenticated root code execution via unbounded Referer parsing
Published Oct 28, 2025 · Updated Oct 28, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in WAVLINK QUANTUM D3G and WL-WN530HG3 firmware M30HG3_V240730 allows remote attackers to execute root code. The sys_login function in login.cgi parses HTTP_REFERER with an unbounded sscanf format into three 64-byte stack buffers, overwriting saved registers and the return address. The parse occurs before password or session validation; exploitation can crash the CGI process or redirect root-level execution.
