Technical details

A format string vulnerability (CWE-134) exists in the 'alias' parameter of the Serial Param configuration page within the web-based management interface. The issue results from insufficient validation of user-supplied input before it is processed by a format-string-aware function. A remote attacker with high privileges (PR:H) can submit crafted input containing format specifiers to leak sensitive memory contents. This disclosure can be used to identify critical memory addresses, effectively bypassing Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) and facilitating further exploitation. A security patch (v1.5.1) is available for the W4 series, while older phased-out models require hardware replacement.
