CVE-2026-10828: CWE-134: Use of Externally-Controlled Format String in Moxa NPort W2150A-W4/W2250A-W4 Series
A format string vulnerability has been found in the "alias" parameter of the Serial Param configuration page in the NPort W2150A-W4/W2250A-W4 Series version 1.5 and prior. This vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation and improper handling of externally supplied format strings. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted input to the web service, causing unintended memory disclosure. Successful exploitation may allow an attacker to leak sensitive memory contents and determine critical memory addresses, potentially bypassing Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) protections.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-10828 is a format string vulnerability (CWE-134) affecting the "alias" parameter on the Serial Param configuration page of Moxa NPort W2150A-W4/W2250A-W4 Series firmware version 1.0 and earlier. The flaw arises from inadequate input validation and unsafe handling of externally controlled format strings, which can be exploited by sending crafted input to the device's web service. Successful exploitation may cause disclosure of sensitive memory contents and enable attackers to determine critical memory addresses, potentially bypassing Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR). The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 (medium severity). No patch or official remediation has been published by Moxa as of the data provided.
Potential Impact
Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to unintended disclosure of memory contents, potentially exposing sensitive information. Additionally, it may allow attackers to bypass ASLR protections by revealing critical memory addresses. This could facilitate further attacks against the device or network. However, no known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict access to the device's web interface to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious input targeting the "alias" parameter. Avoid exposing the device management interface to untrusted networks.
