DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was found in TRENDnet TEW-755AP up to 20260702. Affected is the function FUN_401000 of the file /sbin/mycli. The manipulation of the argument ssid results in stack-based buffer overflow. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

AnalysisAI

Stack-based buffer overflow in TRENDnet TEW-755AP firmware (versions up to 20260702) allows remote low-privileged attackers to corrupt the stack in the /sbin/mycli binary by supplying an oversized ssid argument to function FUN_401000, potentially enabling arbitrary code execution on the device. A public Python proof-of-concept (poc-mycli-overflow.py) is available on GitHub, materially elevating practical risk beyond the theoretical score. …

Impact
Execute arbitrary code on access point

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network-level reachability to the TEW-755AP management interface and at least low-privilege authentication (confirmed by PR:L in the CVSS 4.0 vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.6 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H reflects network-accessible, low-complexity exploitation requiring only low-privilege authentication, with complete impact across both the vulnerable device and subsequent systems it bridges. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with low-level access to the TEW-755AP management interface - for example, using default credentials or credentials obtained through prior reconnaissance - invokes the /sbin/mycli CLI and passes a crafted ssid value significantly exceeding the expected buffer length. The oversized input overwrites the stack frame in FUN_401000, corrupting the return address and redirecting execution to attacker-controlled code. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis; monitor TRENDnet's security advisories and VulDB (https://vuldb.com/vuln/393085) for patch availability and apply any released firmware update immediately. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all TEW-755AP devices in production and document their current firmware versions; isolate any device running version 20260702 or earlier from untrusted network segments and enable monitoring for SSID-based exploitation attempts. …
