DescriptionCVE.org

A security vulnerability has been detected in TRENDnet TEW-WLC100P 12.07b01. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /sbin/netifd of the component DHCP blobmsg Handler. The manipulation leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack must be carried out from within the local network. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.

AnalysisAI

Stack-based buffer overflow in the DHCP blobmsg handler within /sbin/netifd on TRENDnet TEW-WLC100P firmware 12.07b01 allows unauthenticated adjacent-network attackers to execute arbitrary code with no user interaction required. A working proof-of-concept Python exploit script has been publicly released on GitHub, materially lowering the skill threshold for exploitation. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Gain Layer 2 network access
Delivery
Craft oversized DHCP blobmsg payload
Exploit
Send malformed DHCP packet to netifd handler
Execution
Overflow stack buffer, overwrite return address
Impact
Execute arbitrary code as root on gateway

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to reside on the same Layer 2 network segment as the TEW-WLC100P (AV:A), meaning they must be capable of delivering crafted DHCP traffic directly to the device - this precludes direct exploitation from the public internet but is achievable from any host on the same broadcast domain, including wireless clients associated to the device's own SSID. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.6 with full High impact across all six dimensions (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H) reflects the severity of unauthenticated arbitrary code execution on a network gateway device, where compromise extends to downstream systems on the network segment. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has obtained access to the same local network segment as a TRENDnet TEW-WLC100P running firmware 12.07b01 - for example, a rogue wireless client or a compromised wired endpoint - runs the publicly available poc-netifd-overflow.py script from GitHub against the device's IP address. The script sends a crafted DHCP message containing an oversized blobmsg field that overflows the stack buffer in /sbin/netifd, overwrites the return address with attacker-controlled data, and redirects execution to a shellcode payload, achieving remote code execution on the gateway with no authentication required.
Remediation No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis; the NVD CPE wildcard and absence of a fix version in the provided references indicate TRENDnet has not published a patched firmware release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: identify all TRENDnet TEW-WLC100P devices running firmware 12.07b01, segregate them from production networks, and disable services where operationally feasible. …
