A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the httpd component of RE210 AC750 due to improper bounds checking in the splitString function when proces

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the httpd component of RE210 AC750 due to improper bounds checking in the splitString function when processing an uploaded configuration file. An authenticated attacker on the local network can upload a crafted configuration file to trigger the overflow, leading to remote code execution. Successful exploitation may allow unauthorized access to sensitive information, modification of device configuration and network behavior, or disruption of device availability.

What it means for a small business

RE210 AC750 is network equipment or remote-access software: the box between your office and the internet. These are a favorite target because breaking one opens the whole office.

If an IT provider set it up, ask them to confirm the firmware version and the date it was updated. If nobody looks after it, that's the bigger problem.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.32%, higher than 25% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored October 28, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
