Technical details

A pre-authentication stack buffer overflow exists in the /cgi-bin/anonymous/setparam.cgi endpoint (a symlink to set_getparam.cgi) of VIVOTEK FD8136 cameras. The vulnerability is caused by the use of the unsafe 'sprintf' function within the set_get_param function, which copies an attacker-controlled POST body into a fixed-size stack buffer without bounds checking. Because the device lacks modern exploit mitigations—specifically lacking stack canaries and utilizing a non-randomized, executable heap—an unauthenticated remote attacker can overwrite the saved return address to redirect execution to shellcode staged in the heap. This allows for full system compromise with root privileges. The issue was identified in firmware version FD8136-VVTK-0300a.
