CVE-2026-7834: EFM ipTIME NAS1dual Stack-Based Buffer Overflow in misc_main.cgi
CVE-2026-7834 is a stack-based buffer overflow in the get_csrf_whites function of /cgi/advanced/misc_main.cgi in EFM ipTIME NAS1dual 1.5.24, as described by the CNA VulDB. The CNA rates it CVSS 3.1 9.8 (Critical) and states that it can be triggered remotely and that a public exploit has been disclosed. No confirmed exploitation in the wild appears in the sources consulted, and the record lists no affected version ranges or fixes.
Overview
CVE-2026-7834 affects the EFM ipTIME NAS1dual 1.5.24 device. According to the CNA record from VulDB, the flaw is a stack-based buffer overflow in the get_csrf_whites function of /cgi/advanced/misc_main.cgi, classified as CWE-119.
Impact
- The CNA scores the issue CVSS 3.1 9.8 with vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, which indicates network reachability, no privileges or user interaction required, and high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact.
- The same CNA also lists CVSS 4.0 8.9 and CVSS 2.0 10 scores.
- Inference: a memory corruption flaw in a network-facing NAS web interface could allow an attacker to disrupt the device or affect data it stores, but the sources do not describe the concrete consequences.
Affected products and versions
- The record names EFM ipTIME NAS1dual version 1.5.24.
- The structured affected and fixes fields are empty, so the full range of affected versions and any fixed version are unknown from the available data.
Exploitation status
- The CNA states that the exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be used.
- The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
- No confirmed exploitation in the wild appears in the sources consulted.
- The EPSS probability is 0.01038 with a percentile of 0.63025 as recorded.
Remediation and mitigation
- No vendor fix is recorded in the sources. The VulDB entry states the vendor was contacted early and did not respond.
- Until an official update is confirmed, restrict access to the device management interface to trusted networks and avoid exposing it to the internet.
- Follow the vendor's and the device owner's internal processes to check for firmware updates and to decide on isolation or replacement if no fix is available.
Detection guidance
- Review web server and device logs for unusual or repeated requests to /cgi/advanced/misc_main.cgi, especially from unfamiliar sources.
- Monitor for unexpected device restarts, service crashes or configuration changes on the NAS.
- Verify network segmentation so that management interfaces are reachable only from administrative hosts.
Limitations of the available information
- The record gives no vendor advisory, no affected version range beyond 1.5.24, and no fixed version.
- The exploit referenced by VulDB is not described in the record and its content was not reviewed here.
- A GitHub repository is listed among the references; its content was not verified for this analysis.
- The EPSS date field in the record (2026-10-13) is later than the publication date and should be checked against the source.
