CVE-2026-7287: CWE-120: Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') in Zyxel NWA1100-N firmware
CVE-2026-7287 is a high-severity buffer overflow vulnerability in Zyxel NWA1100-N firmware version 1. 00(AACE. 1)C0. It affects multiple functions within the 'webs' binary, including formWep(), formWlAc(), formPasswordSetup(), formUpgradeCert(), and formDelcert(). An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to the device, potentially causing a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. There is no indication of confidentiality or integrity impact. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from Zyxel.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a classic buffer overflow (CWE-120) in the Zyxel NWA1100-N firmware 1.00(AACE.1)C0, specifically in several functions of the 'webs' binary that handle HTTP requests. Improper input size checking allows an attacker to overflow buffers, leading to a denial-of-service condition. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and impact limited to availability (DoS). No known exploits are reported in the wild, and no patch or official remediation has been published by Zyxel as of the data provided.
Potential Impact
Exploitation of this vulnerability can cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition on affected Zyxel NWA1100-N devices by crashing or destabilizing the device's web service. There is no reported impact on confidentiality or integrity. The vulnerability can be triggered remotely without authentication or user interaction.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or workaround is currently published by Zyxel, users should monitor Zyxel's advisories for updates. Until a patch is available, limiting network exposure of the affected device's management interface may reduce risk.
