Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the setUploadSetting function of the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint. The vulnerability is triggered by insufficient bounds checking on the FileName parameter, which allows an attacker to overwrite stack memory by providing an excessively long filename. The attack is remotely exploitable without authentication requirements and can lead to arbitrary code execution with device privileges. A public proof-of-concept has been released, increasing the risk of active exploitation.
