Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the 'formSetWlanEncrypt' function within the '/goform/formSetWlanEncrypt' endpoint of the TRENDnet TEW-432BRP firmware (version 3.10B20). The vulnerability is caused by a lack of bounds checking on the 'webpage' argument, which is copied directly into a local stack variable. An authenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted POST request with an oversized string, leading to a crash (DoS) or potential remote code execution by overwriting the function's return address. The vendor has confirmed this product is End-of-Life (EOL) and no patch will be provided.
