Impact
A stack-based buffer overflow in the formSetMACFilter routine allows an attacker to supply a malicious filter_name argument that overflows the stack and can cause arbitrary code execution on the device. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-119 and CWE-121, indicating improper bounds checking and stack corruption. Since the flaw is exploitable remotely via the web interface, an attacker could gain control of the TEW-432BRP’s firmware or execute arbitrary commands.
Affected Systems
The affected model is TRENDnet TEW-432BRP running firmware 3.10B20. No other versions are reported to be vulnerable. The product has been end‑of‑life since 2009 and the vendor has publicly stated it is unable to provide a fix.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 8.7 classifies this as a high‑severity vulnerability. Although an EPSS score is not available, the public release of an exploit suggests a realistic exploitation probability. The device is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the vulnerability can be triggered through a web request to /goform/formSetMACFilter, making it easily attackable by anyone with network access to the appliance.
