Authenticated code execution via unchecked strcpy
Published Mar 23, 2026 · Updated Mar 23, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Belkin F9K1122 firmware 1.00.33 allows remote authenticated users to execute code via a crafted webpage parameter. The formWISP5G handler passes data derived from the webpage request parameter to strcpy without checking its length, overflowing the stack buffer reboot_msg. Reaching the management endpoint requires low-privileged authenticated access; successful exploitation can crash the device or run code with the web service's privileges.
