CVE-2025-7093 is a critical stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability found in the Belkin F9K1122 router, specifically in firmware version 1.00.33. The flaw resides in the function formSetLanguage within the /goform/formSetLanguage component of the device's web server (webs). An attacker can remotely exploit this vulnerability by manipulating the 'webpage' argument passed to this function, causing a stack-based buffer overflow. This overflow can lead to arbitrary code execution or denial of service, as it overwrites memory on the stack. The vulnerability requires no user interaction and can be triggered remotely over the network, making it highly exploitable. The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 (high severity) reflects the vulnerability's ease of exploitation (network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required) and its potential to compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability with high impact. Despite early notification, the vendor Belkin has not responded or issued a patch, increasing the risk for affected users. Public exploit code has been disclosed, raising the likelihood of active exploitation in the wild. The affected product, Belkin F9K1122, is a consumer-grade router commonly used in home and small office environments, which often lack robust security controls, further increasing risk.

For European organizations, especially small businesses and home office users relying on the Belkin F9K1122 router, this vulnerability poses a significant threat. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on the router, potentially leading to full device compromise. This can result in interception or manipulation of network traffic, unauthorized access to internal networks, and disruption of internet connectivity. Confidential information passing through the router could be exposed or altered, impacting data confidentiality and integrity. Availability may also be affected if the device is crashed or rendered inoperable. Given the remote exploitability and absence of vendor patches, attackers could leverage this vulnerability to establish persistent footholds or launch further attacks against internal systems. The risk extends to critical infrastructure if such routers are used in sensitive environments without adequate network segmentation. Additionally, the public disclosure of exploit code increases the probability of widespread attacks targeting vulnerable devices across Europe.

Immediate mitigation steps should include isolating affected Belkin F9K1122 devices from untrusted networks to reduce exposure. Network administrators should implement strict firewall rules to restrict access to the router's management interface, especially blocking remote access from the internet. Monitoring network traffic for unusual activity or signs of exploitation attempts is advised. Where possible, replace the vulnerable router with a model from a vendor that provides timely security updates. If replacement is not immediately feasible, consider deploying network intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) tuned to detect exploitation attempts targeting this vulnerability. Users should disable any unnecessary services on the router and change default credentials to strong, unique passwords. Regular backups of router configurations and network segmentation can limit the impact of a compromised device. Organizations should also stay alert for any vendor updates or community patches and apply them promptly once available.
