CVE-2026-111711 Details
Description
Netcore NR256CN through 1.5.140116 contains a pre-authentication stack overflow vulnerability in the Boa web server's user_ok() function, which copies Basic-auth usernames with unbounded strcpy() calls into 64-byte stack buffers. Unauthenticated attackers can send a username longer than 63 bytes to any protected /router/*.cgi route to crash the main Boa process or potentially execute code.
A pre-authentication stack overflow vulnerability has been identified in the Netcore NR256CN router, specifically in versions through 1.5.140116. The issue arises in the Boa web server's user_ok() function, which improperly handles Basic-authentication usernames by using unbounded strcpy() calls to copy them into 64-byte stack buffers. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to send usernames longer than 63 bytes to any protected /router/*.cgi route, potentially crashing the main Boa process or executing arbitrary code.
