CVE-2026-47710: BACnet Stack stack-buffer-overflow in Loop object property read

CVE-2026-47710 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.2 · Published 2026-11-12

BACnet Stack is an open-source C library that implements the BACnet building automation protocol for embedded systems. A stack-buffer-overflow vulnerability in the Loop object can be triggered remotely when it reads a long attacker-controlled string from a referenced property, causing memory corruption and denial of service of the server.

Technical details

A stack-buffer-overflow occurs in Loop_Read_Variable_Reference_Update() which reads any referenced property into a fixed 32-byte APDU buffer without validating the referenced property type or size. An attacker can write a long string to a Structured View object's description property via WriteProperty, then point a Loop object's controlled-variable-reference to that property; when the Loop timer fires and reads the referenced property, the oversized string overflows the 32-byte buffer, causing memory corruption and crash.
