CVE-2026-42024: Totolink X2000R stack-based buffer overflow in formIpv6Setup

CVE-2026-42024 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.1 · Published 2026-10-20

The Totolink X2000R is a budget gigabit home router that supports IPv6, WPA3, and mesh networking capabilities. Multiple stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the web-based network configuration interface allow an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted HTTP requests. An attacker with network access and valid credentials can gain complete control over the router, potentially compromising all connected devices and network traffic.

Technologies: TOTOLINK X2000r. Vendors: TOTOLINK.

Technical details

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows exist in the formIpv6Setup handler within the boa web server on the X2000R, affecting parameters including static_dns1, static_dns2, and static_gw. The vulnerable code performs unsafe string operations (direct stack copies without bounds checking) on HTTP request parameters. An authenticated attacker can exploit these via a specially crafted HTTP request to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the boa process.
