CVE-2026-41222: TOTOLINK X2000R stack-based buffer overflow in boa formParentControl

CVE-2026-41222 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.1 · Published 2026-10-20

The TOTOLINK X2000R is a budget home router used for network connectivity. A stack-based buffer overflow in its web administration interface allows an authenticated attacker to crash the device or execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted HTTP request with excessively long URL parameters. This could give an attacker complete control over the router and the networks it serves.

Technologies: TOTOLINK X2000r. Vendors: TOTOLINK.

Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) exists in the boa web server's formParentControl function, which handles parental control URL filtering. The vulnerable code uses strcpy() without bounds checking to copy user-supplied URL values from HTTP POST parameters into a fixed 256-byte stack buffer. An authenticated attacker can trigger the overflow by submitting a urlNum parameter followed by oversized url1, url2, etc. POST parameters, leading to stack corruption and arbitrary code execution.
