Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires authenticated access to the web management interface of a Moxa NPort W2150A-W4/W2250A-W4 Series device with at least low-privilege credentials (PR:L); it is not an unauthenticated flaw. The attacker must be able to reach the management interface over the network and supply input to the vulnerable field that exceeds the expected bounds (insufficient bounds checking per CWE-121). Limiting factors: valid low-privilege credentials are mandatory, no user interaction by a victim is needed, and the impact is confined to making the web management service unresponsive - other device functions keep running and recovery only needs a power cycle, so this is a management-plane denial of service rather than code execution or data compromise. Applies to firmware versions 1.0 through 1.5.

Impact

This is a medium-severity, availability-only issue (CVSS 4.0 base 5.3) that in practice sits below true priority status. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) shows a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw but one that requires low-level authentication (PR:L) and yields only limited availability impact (VA:L) with no confidentiality or integrity loss - the overflow renders the web management service unresponsive while the rest of the device keeps functioning, and recovery is a power cycle rather than a crash of the data path. The vendor's own priority label is 'this_month' (not act_now/emergency), which is consistent with the limited impact. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit reference are present in the input, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The signals are therefore internally consistent - moderate exploitability gated by authentication, minor impact, no exploitation evidence - rather than conflicting. The main caveat: the CVSS is network-vector but the only confirmed consequence is a self-contained denial of the management plane, so the realistic worst case for an attacker who already holds valid low-privilege credentials is nuisance-level disruption of remote administration, not device takeover.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who already holds low-privilege credentials for the device's web management interface sends crafted, oversized input to a vulnerable field, overrunning a stack buffer and crashing the web management service so remote administration is lost until someone physically power cycles the unit. No public proof-of-concept or exploit code is referenced in the available data. Because the flaw is network-reachable with low complexity, the practical barrier is obtaining valid authentication rather than exploitation difficulty.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026

Authenticated users with low privileges can crash the web management service on Moxa NPort W2150A-W4 and W2250A-W4 wireless device servers running firmware 1.0 through 1.5 by supplying oversized input to a management-interface field that is copied into a fixed-size stack buffer without adequate bounds checking. The result is a management-plane denial of service: the web service becomes unresponsive and needs a power cycle, while other device functions remain operational, and the supplied assessment records no confidentiality or integrity impact. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and Moxa rates the issue CVSS 4.0 base 5.3 (medium).

RemediationAI

Consult Moxa security advisory MPSA-261250 (https://www.moxa.com/en/support/product-support/security-advisory/mpsa-261250-cve-2026-111548-stack-buffer-overflow-vulnerability-in-wireless-device-servers) for the vendor-released fixed firmware for the NPort W2150A-W4/W2250A-W4 series; the provided data does not list an exact fixed version, so the advisory is the authoritative source. Until fixed firmware is applied, restrict reachability of the web management interface to trusted administrative networks and tightly limit low-privilege accounts, since exploitation requires authenticated access; this lowers exposure but does not correct the bounds-checking flaw. If the web service becomes unresponsive, a power cycle restores it, but that is only a recovery step and not a remediation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is the web management interface of the Moxa NPort W2150A-W4/W2250A-W4 series, which accepts user-supplied input and, according to the CWE-121 classification, writes it into a stack-allocated buffer without sufficient length validation. A remote attacker who can reach the management interface and has at least low-privilege credentials can trigger the overflow; the assessed vector is CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L, so the confirmed consequence is unavailability of the web management service, not code execution or data disclosure. Affected firmware is 1.0 through 1.5 per EUVD, and the CPE identifies the NPort W2150A-W4/W2250A-W4 series. The trigger specifics beyond the bounds-checking failure are not described in the available sources.

DescriptionCVE.org

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the web management interface of affected Moxa wireless device servers. An authenticated remote attacker with low privileges could exploit insufficient bounds checking of user-supplied input, causing the web management service to become unresponsive. Restoring the service requires power cycling the affected device, while other device functions remain operational.

Attack Technique

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.

A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than it was allocated to hold.
