Stack-Based Buffer Overflow in TFTP File-Transfer Command Handling over CLI
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.32% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Phoenix Contact FL NAT 2008 3.53; Phoenix Contact FL NAT 2208 3.53; Phoenix Contact FL NAT 2304-2GC-2SFP 3.53.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Phoenix Contact FL NAT 2008 3.53; Phoenix Contact FL NAT 2208 3.53; Phoenix Contact FL NAT 2304-2GC-2SFP 3.53 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A stack-based buffer overflow in the CLI's TFTP file‑transfer command handling allows a low-privileged attacker with Telnet/SSH access to trigger memory corruption by supplying unexpected or oversized filename input. Exploitation results in the corruption of the internal buffer, causing the CLI and web dashboard to become unavailable and leading to a denial of service.
