CVE-2026-19386: ASUS router stack-based buffer overflow in configuration upload

CVE-2026-19386 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-07

ASUS routers are subject to a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in their configuration file upload functionality. An attacker with network access and knowledge of device credentials can exploit this by uploading a maliciously crafted configuration file, leading to arbitrary code execution on the router with full device privileges.

Vendors: ASUS.

Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in ASUS router firmware modules when processing configuration file uploads. The vulnerability is triggered when a user-supplied configuration file exceeds the expected buffer size during upload. An authenticated attacker on the local network can craft a malicious configuration file to overflow the stack and execute arbitrary code with router privileges.
