Router crash via oversized formFilter parameters
Published Jul 27, 2025 · Updated Jul 28, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in the X15 1.0.0-B20230714.1105 HTTP handler allows remote authenticated users to crash the router. The /boafrm/formFilter handler accepts oversized ip6addr, url, vpnPassword, or vpnUser values without enforcing stack-buffer bounds. A valid session token is required, and successful exploitation interrupts router availability rather than providing a demonstrated data-access or code-execution primitive.
