8.8 HIGH

Network-reachable web endpoint with low complexity and no UI, but the admin/diagnostic interface requires privileges (PR:L); a buffer overflow plausibly yields full C/I/A impact on the device.

DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was detected in TRENDnet TEW-821DAP 1.12B01. The affected element is the function sub_41EC14 of the file /goform/tools_nslookup of the component ssi. The manipulation results in buffer overflow. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The vendor explains: "We are unable to confirm the existence of the vulnerabilities for (...) TEW-821DAP (v1.0R) as these items have been EOL. " This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

AnalysisAI

Buffer overflow in the TRENDnet TEW-821DAP (firmware 1.12B01) wireless access point lets an authenticated remote attacker corrupt memory through the ssi-driven /goform/tools_nslookup handler (function sub_41EC14), enabling likely remote code execution or device crash. The device is end-of-life and the vendor has stated it cannot confirm or fix the issue, so no official patch is expected. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network reachability to the TEW-821DAP HTTP management interface and the ability to invoke the /goform/tools_nslookup endpoint backed by function sub_41EC14 in the ssi component; per CVSS PR:L, some authenticated/privileged access to the web UI is needed, so this is not an unauthenticated-against-default attack. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.7 (High) with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N and full VC:H/VI:H/VA:H impact, indicating network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation that nonetheless requires some level of privileges (PR:L) - consistent with the endpoint living behind an authenticated web-management session rather than being fully anonymous. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who can reach the device's web management interface and holds (or brute-forces/reuses) valid credentials sends a crafted request to /goform/tools_nslookup with an over-long target parameter, overflowing the buffer handled by sub_41EC14. This corrupts control-flow data in the SSI/web daemon, crashing the service or, with a tuned payload, executing attacker code on the AP. …
Remediation No vendor-released patched firmware version has been identified - the intelligence flag 'Patch: Available from vendor' conflicts with the vendor's EOL statement that it cannot confirm or address the flaw, and the cited GitHub link is a disclosure write-up rather than a fixed build, so treat this as No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
