Vendor/Project: DrayTek Corporation
Product: VigorAP 918R

Description

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in multiple DrayTek VigorAP models, including the VigorAP 918R, specifically in the setLan function. This flaw arises from missing length checks during memory copy operations involving lanVlanId0, lanIp, and lanNetmask fields. Exploitation requires valid administrative credentials to the device's web management interface and can lead to denial of service or potentially arbitrary command execution.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-71911 is a classic buffer overflow vulnerability in DrayTek VigorAP 918R caused by lack of input size validation in the setLan function. The vulnerability affects memory copy operations for lanVlanId0, lanIp, and lanNetmask fields. A remote attacker with valid admin credentials can exploit this flaw by sending crafted input to the web management interface, resulting in denial of service or possible arbitrary command execution. No patch or official remediation information is currently available.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker with administrative privileges to cause denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary commands on the affected device. This could disrupt network operations or compromise device integrity. However, exploitation requires valid administrative credentials, limiting the attacker's initial access.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict administrative access to trusted personnel only and monitor for unauthorized access attempts. No official fix or temporary workaround has been published by the vendor at this time.
