CVE-2026-5629: Stack-based Buffer Overflow in Belkin F9K1015
CVE-2026-5629 is a high-severity stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the Belkin F9K1015 router firmware version 1. 00. 10. The flaw exists in the formSetFirewall function, where improper handling of the 'webpage' argument allows remote attackers to trigger a buffer overflow. Exploit code is publicly available, but no vendor response or patch has been issued. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without user interaction and requires low attack complexity with no privileges needed.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects the Belkin F9K1015 router firmware version 1.00.10. The issue is a stack-based buffer overflow in the formSetFirewall function located in the /goform/formSetFirewall endpoint. By manipulating the 'webpage' argument, an attacker can overflow the stack buffer remotely, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or denial of service. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7, indicating high severity, with network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. The vendor was contacted but has not provided any response or patch. Exploit code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to remote code execution or denial of service on the affected device. Since the attack vector is network-based and requires no privileges or user interaction, the risk is significant for exposed devices. The availability of public exploit code increases the likelihood of attacks. No known exploits in the wild have been reported yet, but the lack of vendor response and patch increases exposure.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since the vendor has not responded or issued a fix, users should consider mitigating exposure by restricting network access to the affected device's management interface, disabling remote management if possible, or replacing the device with a secure alternative. Monitor for any updates from Belkin regarding patches or official mitigations.
