Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

prevent

Enforces validation of the setNtp parameter in admin.cgi to prevent stack buffer overflows from malformed or oversized inputs.

prevent

Implements memory protections like stack canaries, ASLR, and non-executable memory to block exploitation of the stack overflow for arbitrary code execution.

prevent

Mandates timely scanning, prioritization, and remediation of the specific stack overflow flaw in Telesquare TLR-2005KSH version 1.1.4.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
Why these techniques?

Unauthenticated remote stack overflow in public-facing admin.cgi web interface directly enables T1190 for initial access and arbitrary code execution.

Confidence: HIGH · MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise v19.0

NVD Description

Telesquare TLR-2005KSH 1.1.4 is vulnerable to unauthorized stack overflow vulnerability when requesting admin.cgi parameter with setNtp.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-26005 is an unauthorized stack overflow vulnerability (CWE-120) in Telesquare TLR-2005KSH version 1.1.4. The issue occurs when requesting the admin.cgi parameter with setNtp, allowing exploitation without authentication. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating critical severity due to its potential for severe impacts.

Unauthenticated attackers with network access can exploit this vulnerability remotely with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation enables high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution, data theft, system modification, or denial of service on the affected device.

Additional technical details, including potential proof-of-concept information, are documented in the referenced advisory at https://github.com/Fan-24/Digging/blob/main/7/1.md. No specific patch or mitigation guidance is outlined in the available CVE information.
