Unauthenticated OS command execution via CGI buffer overflow
Published Jun 16, 2026 · Updated Jun 16, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Zyxel GS1900 series firmware allows remote attackers on the LAN to execute OS commands via HTTP. Zyxel identifies the locus only as the CGI program and has not disclosed the affected endpoint, request field, or unsafe copy operation. Exploitation requires LAN access but no authentication or user interaction, and successful memory corruption grants command execution on the switch.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
