CVE-2026-5628Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated code execution via unchecked strcpy

Published Apr 6, 2026 · Updated Apr 6, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in Belkin F9K1015 1.00.10 allows remote authenticated users to execute code via a crafted webpage parameter. The formSetSystemSettings handler passes p_reboot_msg to strcpy without checking its length, overflowing the stack buffer reboot_msg. Access to the HTTP management interface with low privileges is required; exploitation can crash the service or execute code on the appliance.
