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

A critical vulnerability, CVE-2025-4829, has been identified in TOTOLINK A702R, A3002R, and A3002RU 3.0.0-B20230809.1615. This vulnerability is significant due to its potential impact on the security of these devices, which could lead to system compromise or data leakage. It affects the HTTP POST Request Handler component of these TOTOLINK<\/a> products, and specifically the function sub_40BE30 of the file \/boafrm\/formStats. By manipulating the argument “submit-url”, a buffer overflow<\/a> can be triggered, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.<\/p>\n

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

CVE ID: CVE-2025-4829
\nSeverity: Critical (8.8\/10 CVSS score)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: Potential system<\/a> compromise or data leakage<\/p>\n

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

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

TOTOLINK A702R<\/a> | 3.0.0-B20230809.1615
\nTOTOLINK A3002R<\/a> | 3.0.0-B20230809.1615
\nTOTOLINK A3002RU | 3.0.0-B20230809.1615<\/p>\n

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

This exploit works by sending a HTTP POST request<\/a> with a specially crafted “submit-url” argument to the “sub_40BE30” function of the \/boafrm\/formStats file in the affected TOTOLINK products. The manipulation of this argument leads to a buffer overflow, which can be used by a malicious actor to execute arbitrary code<\/a> on the system.<\/p>\n

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

Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This is a simulated HTTP POST request, which sends a malicious payload to the vulnerable system<\/a>.<\/p>\n

POST \/boafrm\/formStats HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/x-www-form-urlencoded\nsubmit-url=<\/code><\/pre>\n
Please note that the actual content of the “ would be crafted carefully to exploit the buffer overflow vulnerability<\/a> and possibly allow arbitrary code execution.
\nIn conclusion, this vulnerability is of high importance due to its critical severity<\/a> and potential impact on system security. Users are advised to apply the necessary patches provided by the vendor or use Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as temporary mitigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
