CVE-2026-4182Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via unchecked parameter copy

Published Mar 15, 2026 · Updated Mar 15, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link DIR-816 1.10CNB05 allows remote attackers to crash the router via a crafted HTTP request. The goahead handler for /goform/form2Wl5RepeaterStep2.cgi copies unchecked key1, key2, key3, key4, or pskValue data into a stack local, overwriting the return address. No authentication is required; the published proof of concept causes persistent loss of router service, while the disclosed overwrite also enables arbitrary code execution.
