CVE Summary Severity CVSS EPSS Priority Signals
CVE-2026-74843 Remote code execution in Wavlink WN531P3 and WN535M1 (firmware V250922) consumer routers arises from an unsafe strcpy in the export_pingortrace.cgi binary, where the attacker-controlled HTTP_COOKIE header is copied into a fixed stack buffer without bounds checking. Unauthenticated remote attackers can send a crafted Cookie header to the device web interface to overflow the stack and hijack execution. Publicly available exploit code exists (disclosed via VulDB with a PoC report), but there is no public exploit identified as actively exploited in the wild, and no CISA KEV listing. CRITICAL 9.3 1.0% 67
PoC No patch
CVE-2026-13539 Stack-based buffer overflow in the Wavlink WL-NU516U1-A wireless range extender (firmware M16U1_V240425) lets a remote, low-privileged attacker corrupt memory by sending an oversized Guest_ssid POST parameter to the sub_407504 function in /cgi-bin/wireless.cgi. The flaw was reported by VulDB, publicly available exploit code exists, and it carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.4; there is no evidence of active exploitation in CISA KEV at this time. HIGH 7.4 0.5% 57
PoC
CVE-2026-18607 Stack-based buffer overflow in Wavlink's lighttpd-based web interface allows network-adjacent authenticated attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution on at least thirteen SOHO router and range-extender models running firmware through 20260609. The vulnerable code path is the strcpy call within upload.cgi, which copies the HTTP_COOKIE request header into a fixed-size stack buffer without length validation. Publicly available exploit code exists on GitHub (0xcc12138/WAVLINK-vul); no CISA KEV listing is present, but the disclosed POC materially lowers the exploitation barrier for opportunistic actors targeting consumer networking gear. HIGH 7.4 0.4% 57
PoC No patch
CVE-2026-18588 Stack-based buffer overflow in the Wavlink WL-NU516U1 (firmware 708c073-mt7628) router's nas.cgi handler lets remote unauthenticated attackers overflow a fixed-size stack buffer by manipulating the HTTP CONTENT_LENGTH value processed via fgets. Successful exploitation can crash the device or execute arbitrary code with full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. A public write-up (GitHub report2.md) exists, but the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV - no public weaponized exploit is confirmed at time of analysis. CRITICAL 9.3 0.6% 47
CVE-2026-18589 Stack-based buffer overflow in the Wavlink WL-NU516U1 NAS device's nas.cgi password change handler allows remote unauthenticated attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code by supplying an oversized User1Passwd argument to the change_password function. Affecting the MT7628 firmware variant (708c073-mt7628), this carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.9 with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact and no privileges or user interaction required. A public proof-of-concept has been published and a vendor-released firmware patch is available as of 2026-07-13; no confirmed CISA KEV listing at time of analysis. HIGH 8.9 0.6% 45
CVE-2026-18587 OS command injection in the Wavlink WL-NU516U1 firmware (build 708c073-mt7628) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands by supplying a crafted Password argument to the Config Import component. The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.7 reflects meaningful constraints - high attack complexity (AC:H) and required user interaction (UI:P) - yet the full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the vulnerable system remains high. A proof-of-concept exploit has been publicly published on GitHub, and the vendor has already released a patched firmware binary, making this a time-sensitive patching priority for any deployment of the affected firmware build. MEDIUM 6.8 1.3% 35
CVE-2026-13538 Command injection in Wavlink WL-NU516U1-A router firmware (M16U1_V240425) allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands by submitting crafted POST parameters to the wireless CGI configuration handler. The affected function sub_401D68 within /cgi-bin/wireless.cgi fails to sanitize the SSID2G2, SSID5G2, AuthMethod2, and WPAPSK12 parameters before passing them to OS-level commands. A public proof-of-concept exploit is confirmed available on GitHub; this CVE is not currently listed in CISA's KEV catalog, but the vendor has already released a patched firmware. LOW 2.1 1.3% 32
PoC
CVE-2026-15513 OS command injection in the Wavlink WL-NU516U1 router's CGI web administration interface allows authenticated network attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands by injecting shell metacharacters into the lan_ip parameter of the adm.cgi endpoint. The wlink_uci_set_value function passes attacker-controlled input unsanitized into OS-level commands, enabling full compromise of the underlying Linux-based router OS. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available on GitHub (no public exploit identified at time of analysis for KEV), and the vendor has released a patched firmware as of June 22, 2026. LOW 2.1 1.4% 30
PoC
CVE-2026-18590 OS command injection in the Wavlink WL-NU516U1 router's admin password handler allows a remote, low-privileged authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands via the set_sys_adm function in adm.cgi. The affected firmware version is 708c073-mt7628, and a public proof-of-concept exploit has been disclosed on GitHub. No CISA KEV listing exists, but the vendor has responded promptly and released a patched firmware dated 2026-07-13. LOW 2.1 1.1% 12
