CVE-2026-41223: Totolink X2000R stack-based buffer overflow in formMapDelDevice

CVE-2026-41223 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.1 · Published 2026-10-20

The Totolink X2000R is a home router that manages network connections through a web administration interface. A stack-based buffer overflow in the device map configuration function allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the router by sending a specially crafted HTTP request. This could give an attacker complete control over the router, enabling them to intercept network traffic, modify settings, or use the device as a foothold for further attacks.

Technologies: TOTOLINK X2000r. Vendors: TOTOLINK.

Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the boa web server's formMapDelDevice() function, which unsafely passes user-controlled input (macstr parameter) via execve to the /bin/map_del_device binary. The child process copies this parameter directly to a fixed-size stack buffer using strcpy without bounds checking, allowing an attacker to overflow the stack and achieve arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability requires prior authentication via the web interface but no additional user interaction.
