GHSA-6MH6-Q22W-5C4P

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-20 18:31 – Updated: 2026-07-13 21:31

Details

This vulnerability in AX53 v1 results from insufficient input sanitization in the device’s probe handling logic, where unvalidated parameters can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow that causes the affected service to crash and, under specific conditions, may enable remote code execution through complex heap-spray techniques.

Successful exploitation may result in repeated service unavailability and, in certain scenarios, allow an attacker to gain control of the device.
