Wavlink · Wl-Nu516U1 · CVE-2026-18589
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Wavlink WL-NU516U1 version 708c073-mt7628
**Description**
A remote attack is possible due to a stack-based buffer overflow, which occurs when the `User1Passwd` argument is manipulated within the `change password()` function of the `nas.cgi` file. A stack-based buffer overflow is a condition where a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than the buffer is allocated to hold, potentially leading to crashes or arbitrary code execution.
**Recommendations**
Upgrade the affected component to the fixed version released by the vendor.
As a temporary mitigation, restrict access to the `nas.cgi` file or avoid using the `User1Passwd` parameter until the update is applied.
