PLANET GS-4210-16P2S V3: Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input
CVE-2026-75124 is a high-severity buffer copy without checking size of input vulnerability in PLANET GS-4210-16P2S V3 from PLANET Technology, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 3.441b260626 as the first without the flaw, so updating PLANET GS-4210-16P2S V3 to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.71% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 54% of scored CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update PLANET GS-4210-16P2S V3 to 3.441b260626 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on planet.com.tw 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
PLANET GS-4210-16P2S V3 firmware before 3.441b260626 contains a pre-authentication memory corruption vulnerability in the web management interface where the _readHttpParam function copies an oversized HTTP query string without guaranteeing NUL termination, allowing parse_query_string to process attacker-controlled data into a fixed-size stack buffer. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send an oversized GET request to dispatcher.cgi to cause denial of service of the web management interface and potentially trigger memory corruption.

The underlying weakness: Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input
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.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. For example, many languages that perform their own memory management, such as Java and Perl, are not subject to buffer overflows. Other languages, such as Ada and C#, typically provide overflow protection, but the protection can be disabled by the programmer. Be wary that a language's interface to native code may still be subject to overflows, even if the language itself is theoretically safe.
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. Examples include the Safe C String Library (SafeStr) by Messier and Viega, and the Strsafe.h library from Microsoft. These libraries provide safer versions of overflow-prone string-handling functions.
- 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.
