Technical details
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the /goform/APSecurity_5g endpoint due to improper use of strcpy() in the cipher parameter handling. The vulnerable code copies user-supplied input directly to a fixed-size stack buffer without length validation. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this over the network by sending an HTTP POST request with an oversized cipher parameter (as demonstrated in the public proof-of-concept). Successful exploitation can result in denial of service through application crash; remote code execution may be possible depending on stack layout and protections. The vendor was contacted early but did not respond with patches.
