Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) exists in the web management interface of Moxa NPort W2150A-W4 and W2250A-W4 series devices. The vulnerability is located in the 'Server location' parameter on the Basic settings page due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker with high privileges (PR:H) can exploit this over the network by submitting a crafted string that overflows the stack buffer, leading to memory corruption. Successful exploitation enables remote code execution with root-level permissions. A firmware patch (v1.5.1) is available for the W4 series, while older phased-out models require hardware replacement.
