What is CVE-2021-27248?

This vulnerability affects D-Link DAP-2020 Wi-Fi access points, allowing network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code without authentication. The flaw lies in the handling of CGI scripts where the 'getpage' parameter does not adequately validate the size of user input before transferring it to a fixed-length stack buffer. This oversight can be exploited to run malicious code with root privileges, potentially compromising the device and the network it serves.

Affected Version(s)

DAP-2020 v1.01rc001
