Authenticated service interruption via unchecked SSID copy
Published Jan 11, 2026 · Updated Jan 11, 2026
Buffer overflow in Shanghai Aitai Technology 进取 520W 1.7.7-180627 allows remote authenticated users to crash the router via a crafted SSID. The /goform/ConfigWirelessBase handler passes the ssid request value to strcpy at an object offset without checking the destination buffer size. Administrative web credentials are required, and an oversized POST body can overwrite memory and interrupt routing service; the public artifact demonstrates denial of service rather than code execution.
