Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE-2025-45845 is a critical cybersecurity vulnerability that has been identified in TOTOLINK NR1800X V9.1.0u.6681_B20230703. This vulnerability is primarily linked with an authenticated stack overflow, which can be triggered via the ‘ssid5g’ parameter in the ‘setWiFiEasyGuestCfg’ function. This vulnerability is of significant concern as it could potentially expose the system<\/a> to compromise, or lead to data leakage, causing significant harm to the users of the affected devices.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-45845
\nSeverity: High (CVSS Score 8.8)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: Low (user privileges<\/a> required)
\nUser Interaction: Required
\nImpact: Potential system<\/a> compromise and data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

TOTOLINK NR1800X | V9.1.0u.6681_B20230703<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability is exploited when an authenticated<\/a> user sends a malformed request to the ‘setWiFiEasyGuestCfg’ function, containing an oversized ‘ssid5g’ parameter. This triggers a stack buffer overflow<\/a>, which can lead to execution of arbitrary code or cause the system to crash, potentially leading to information disclosure, system compromise, or denial of service.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

The following conceptual HTTP request illustrates how the vulnerability<\/a> might be exploited:<\/p>\n

POST \/setWiFiEasyGuestCfg HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/x-www-form-urlencoded\nAuthorization: Basic [Base64 credentials]\nssid5g={ \"malicious_payload\": \"A\"*1024 }<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, a malicious user sends an authenticated POST request to the ‘setWiFiEasyGuestCfg’ function, with an oversized ‘ssid5g’ parameter, causing a stack overflow<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Recommendations<\/strong><\/p>\n
To mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available. In the meanwhile, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can help prevent exploitation of the vulnerability. Furthermore, users should also consider limiting the exposure of the affected systems<\/a> to the internet and restrict the privileges of users who have access to these systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
