Stack-based buffer overflow in the Totolink NR1800X router (firmware 9.1.0u.6279_B20210910) lets remote attackers corrupt memory by supplying an oversized HTTP Host header to the Form_Logout handler at /formLogout.htm, served by the embedded lighttpd web interface. Because the flaw is reachable over the network without authentication and publicly available exploit code exists, it is a strong candidate for opportunistic exploitation despite not yet appearing in CISA KEV. Successful exploitation can crash the device or, given the CWE-121 stack overwrite, potentially achieve code execution on the router.

Remote unauthenticated stack-based buffer overflow in the TOTOLINK NR1800X router (firmware 9.1.0u.6279_B20210910) allows attackers to corrupt memory by supplying an oversized HTTP Host header to the Form_Logout handler of /formLogout.htm in the embedded lighttpd web service. Publicly available exploit code exists, and the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates trivial remote triggering with no authentication or user interaction, threatening full compromise of the device. No public evidence of active in-the-wild exploitation (not in CISA KEV) was found at time of analysis, though a POC is disclosed.

Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
A weakness has been identified in Totolink NR1800X 9.1.0u.6279_B20210910. Affected by this issue is the function Form_Logout of the file /formLogout.htm of the component lighttpd. This manipulation of the argument Host causes stack-based buffer overflow. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.
Executive ViewAI
Totolik NR1800X routers running firmware 9.1.0u.6279_B20210910 contain a critical stack-overflow vulnerability allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to crash devices or potentially execute code. Publicly available exploit code exists, creating immediate risk of infrastructure compromise and network disruption. No vendor patch is available, requiring urgent defensive actions to prevent opportunistic exploitation.
Within 24 hours, inventory all Totolik NR1800X routers on your network and confirm firmware version 9.1.0u.6279_B20210910 or earlier; immediately restrict network access to the administrative web interface (/formLogout.htm) using firewall rules blocking all unauthenticated external connections. Within 7 days, deploy intrusion detection or prevention signatures to block HTTP requests with oversized Host headers (>1KB), and disable remote administration features if not operationally essential. Within 30 days, monitor Totolik vendor advisories for patch releases, evaluate firmware upgrades or alternative hardware solutions, and implement network segmentation to isolate router management access and contain any potential device compromise.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Firewall rules restricting network access to router administrative interfaces, blocking all unauthenticated external connections; (2) Host-header validation and request-size limits on upstream proxies or WAF systems; (3) Disable remote administration protocols if operationally feasible; (4) Network segmentation isolating router management interfaces from general-access networks; (5) Continuous monitoring for exploitation attempts targeting /formLogout.htm with anomalous HTTP requests.

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
