Network-reachable config CGI with low complexity, but as an administrative handler it realistically requires some auth (PR:L); memory corruption yields full C/I/A impact with no scope change (S:U).
Primary rating from Vendor (VulDB).

3DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was determined in TRENDnet TEW-821DAP 2.2.01b05. Affected by this vulnerability is the function uci_safe_get of the file /cgi-bin/apply_time.cgi of the component NTP Timezone Configuration Handler. Executing a manipulation of the argument system.ntp.server/system.ntp.enable_server/cameo.time.time_zone/cameo.cameo.syslog_server can lead to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in the TRENDnet TEW-821DAP (firmware 2.2.01b05) wireless access point allows attackers reaching the /cgi-bin/apply_time.cgi NTP Timezone Configuration Handler to corrupt the stack via oversized values in the system.ntp.server, system.ntp.enable_server, cameo.time.time_zone, or cameo.cameo.syslog_server parameters, which flow unchecked into the uci_safe_get function. Publicly available exploit code exists (disclosed via VulDB and a GitHub write-up), though there is no public exploit identified as being used in active attacks. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the ability to send an HTTP request to the /cgi-bin/apply_time.cgi endpoint (NTP Timezone Configuration Handler) on a TEW-821DAP running 2.2.01b05, and control over at least one of the specific parameters system.ntp.server, system.ntp.enable_server, cameo.time.time_zone, or cameo.cameo.syslog_server with an over-length value. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The raw CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N with High vulnerable- AND subsequent-system impact) presents this as a trivial, unauthenticated, remotely exploitable full-compromise flaw, and a public PoC (E:P) increases opportunistic risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who can reach the TEW-821DAP web-management interface sends a crafted POST to /cgi-bin/apply_time.cgi with an over-length system.ntp.server (or syslog_server/time_zone) value; the oversized string overflows a fixed stack buffer in uci_safe_get, overwriting the return address and either crashing the device (DoS) or redirecting execution to attacker-supplied shellcode. Public proof-of-concept material for this exact endpoint has been disclosed, lowering the effort required; the low attack complexity means a working exploit could be adapted quickly, though reliable code execution on the embedded MIPS/ARM target typically requires defeating any device-specific memory protections. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch is identified at time of analysis, and no fixed firmware version is available in the provided data, so upgrade guidance cannot cite a specific build - monitor TRENDnet's support/security pages for a TEW-821DAP firmware update superseding 2.2.01b05. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all TEW-821DAP devices running firmware 2.2.01b05 and prioritize those with internet or untrusted network exposure. …
