CVE-2026-28763: TOTOLINK X2000R stack-based buffer overflow in boa formMapDelDevice

CVE-2026-28763 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.1 · Published 2026-10-20

The TOTOLINK X2000R is a budget home router used for residential network connectivity. The router's web administration interface contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the hostname handling functionality that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code. An attacker with administrative access can craft a malicious HTTP request to crash the router or execute commands with the privileges of the web server process.

Technologies: TOTOLINK X2000r. Vendors: TOTOLINK.

Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the formMapDelDevice() function of the boa web server on the X2000R. The vulnerability occurs when an authenticated POST request supplies a hostnameAdd parameter followed by an unchecked strcpy() of a hostname parameter into a 0x40-byte stack buffer (line [4] in the advisory), enabling stack frame corruption and return address overwrite. The attack requires prior authentication to the web interface and network access to the router's administrative port.
