A post-authentication buffer overflow vulnerability in the parameter "action" of the CGI program in Zyxel VMG3625-T50B firmware versions through V5.50(ABPM.9.2)C0 could allow an authenticated attacker with administrator privileges to cause a temporary denial of service (DoS) condition against the web management interface by sending a crafted HTTP GET request to a vulnerable device if the function ZyEE is enabled.

Remediation
Which version to upgrade to
Fix versions compiled from the vendor, package registries and Microsoft. Verify the vendor's note before upgrading.
No fix version is recorded for this entry. Check the references for vendor advisories.
Exploit status
No known public exploit
No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.
Research context
For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.
Timeline
From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.
No dated events beyond publication.
FIRST EPSS daily score; only changes of 0.01 or more are recorded (step chart).
Patch and commit links

Weakness class (CWE)

Root cause
When data is copied, the source length is not compared with the size of the destination buffer. Excess data overwrites adjacent memory.
