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. It occurs in the formSetFirewall function when processing the webpage argument. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without user interaction or privileges. Although the exploit code is publicly available, there is no vendor response or official patch at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a stack-based buffer overflow in the formSetFirewall function of the Belkin F9K1015 router firmware version 1.00.10. Specifically, improper handling of the 'webpage' argument allows an attacker to overflow the stack remotely. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vendor has not issued any advisory or patch, and the exploit is publicly available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution or denial of service on the affected device, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Given the network attack vector and no required privileges, attackers can remotely exploit this vulnerability without authentication. The public availability of exploit code increases the risk of attacks.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available from the vendor. Users should monitor for any vendor advisories or firmware updates addressing this issue. Until a fix is released, affected devices should be isolated from untrusted networks or replaced. Network-level protections such as firewall rules blocking access to the vulnerable management interface may reduce exposure.
