CVE-2026-116508: TOTOLINK A950RG stack buffer overflow in infostat.cgi

CVE-2026-116508 · Severity: critical · CVSS 10 · Published 2026-10-26

The TOTOLINK A950RG router's device-information interface fails to validate the size of incoming HTTP requests, allowing an attacker on the network to overflow internal memory buffers and execute arbitrary code. Since no authentication is required, any user with network access to the router can trigger the vulnerability to completely compromise the device.

Technologies: TOTOLINK A950rg. Vendors: TOTOLINK.

Technical details

An unauthenticated stack-based buffer overflow in the infostat.cgi CGI handler results from improper use of the Content-Length HTTP header: the program reads request bodies directly into a 4096-byte stack buffer without bounds checking, and a second strcpy in sub_402340 introduces a third overflow point. The attack is network-accessible without credentials, and the target firmware (non-PIE, no stack canaries, ASLR disabled) allows reliable exploitation to achieve remote code execution or denial of service.
