AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Description

The Intersil isl3893 extensions for Boa 0.93.15, as used on the FreeLan RO80211G-AP and other devices, do not prevent stack writes from entering memory locations used for string constants, which allows remote attackers to change the admin password stored in memory via a long username in an HTTP Basic Authentication request.

Exploitation

Not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue as of 2026.09.04. That is an absence of confirmed public exploitation, not evidence that exploitation has not occurred. EPSS models a 68.2% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, placing it in the top decile of all scored CVEs.
