Authenticated memory corruption via oversized upload boundary
Published Feb 23, 2026 · Updated Feb 23, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in the AC8 16.03.34.06 Httpd Service allows remote authenticated users to corrupt process memory. webCgiGetUploadFile accepts an oversized boundary argument at /cgi-bin/UploadCfg without constraining it to the destination stack buffer. A low-privileged session to the router's HTTP management service is required; the established consequence is process-memory corruption, not demonstrated code execution.
