GXP1610: Stack-based Buffer Overflow
CVE-2026-2329 is a critical-severity stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in GXP1610 from Grandstream, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected GXP1610 versions: 1.0.7.80 and earlier. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 41.7% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is in the top 1.29% of all scored CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update Gxp1610 Firmware to 1.0.7.81 or a later version.
- Update Gxp1615 Firmware to 1.0.7.81 or a later version.
- Update Gxp1620 Firmware to 1.0.7.81 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on psirt.grandstream.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
An unauthenticated stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the HTTP API endpoint /cgi-bin/api.values.get. A remote attacker can leverage this vulnerability to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) with root privileges on a target device. The vulnerability affects all six device models in the series: GXP1610, GXP1615, GXP1620, GXP1625, GXP1628, and GXP1630.

The underlying weakness: Stack-based Buffer Overflow
The product writes past the end of a buffer that was allocated on the stack.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index checking. D3-SFCV (Stack Frame Canary Validation) from D3FEND discusses canary-based detection in detail.
- Use an abstraction library to abstract away risky APIs. Not a complete solution.
- Implement and perform bounds checking on input.
Timeline

- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: poc, automatable: yes, technical impact: total).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
