Exploitability
| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-119 | The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data. |
| CWE-120 | The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2025-5790 is a critical buffer overflow vulnerability in the TOTOLINK X15 router firmware version 1.0.0-B20230714.1105. It occurs in the HTTP POST request handler at the endpoint /boafrm/formIpQoS, specifically when processing the 'mac' parameter. An attacker can remotely send a specially crafted POST request that causes the device to overflow a buffer due to improper input size validation, potentially disrupting router functionality. [1, 2]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can be exploited remotely to cause a denial of service (DoS) on the affected TOTOLINK X15 router, disrupting its normal operation. It impacts the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the device, potentially allowing attackers to disrupt network connectivity or compromise device stability. The exploit is easy to execute and publicly available, increasing the risk of attacks. [1, 2]
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by monitoring HTTP POST requests to the endpoint /boafrm/formIpQoS on the TOTOLINK X15 router firmware version 1.0.0-B20230714.1105. Specifically, look for suspicious or unusually large 'mac' parameter values in POST requests that could trigger the buffer overflow. Network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) can be configured to alert on POST requests to this endpoint. Additionally, you can use tools like curl or wget to test the endpoint manually by sending crafted POST requests to observe abnormal behavior or crashes. Example command to test the endpoint: curl -X POST http://<router-ip>/boafrm/formIpQoS -d "mac=<malicious_payload>". However, no specific detection commands are provided in the resources. [1, 2]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Currently, no known countermeasures or mitigations are available for this vulnerability. The recommended immediate step is to consider replacing the affected TOTOLINK X15 router running firmware version 1.0.0-B20230714.1105. Additionally, restricting remote access to the router's management interface and monitoring for exploit attempts can help reduce risk until a patch or update is released. [2]
