Users should monitor Zyxel advisories for updates. Until a fix is available, restricting WLAN access to trusted users and avoiding visiting the “AP Select” page when suspicious SSIDs are present may reduce exposure.

Description

CVE-2026-6058 is a medium severity vulnerability affecting Zyxel WRE6505 v2 firmware version V1.00(ABDV.3)C0. It involves improper encoding or escaping in the CGI program of the device's web management interface. An adjacent attacker on the WLAN can exploit this by causing an authenticated administrator to visit the “AP Select” page with a malformed SSID, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. No patch or official remediation has been announced by Zyxel as of the publication date.
