Memory corruption via unchecked ssid formatting
Published Aug 20, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in COMFAST CF-N1-S 2.6.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to corrupt memory via the ssid parameter. In sub_44B438, the SSID handler reads ssid from the request and formats it into a fixed 64-byte stack buffer as ptest set ssid %s without length validation or bounds checks. Exploitation requires a valid session for a POST request to /cgi-bin/mbox-config?method=SET§ion=ptest_ssid; the public issue report demonstrates a crash and states that overwritten control data can yield code execution in the web service context.
