CVE-2026-15484: TRENDnet TEW-821DAP ssi tools_nslookup sub_41EC14 buffer overflow

A vulnerability was detected in TRENDnet TEW-821DAP 1.12B01. The affected element is the function sub_41EC14 of the file /goform/tools_nslookup of the component ssi. The manipulation results in buffer overflow. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The vendor explains: "We are unable to confirm the existence of the vulnerabilities for (...) TEW-821DAP (v1.0R) as these items have been EOL. " This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2026-15484 is a critical buffer overflow reported in TRENDnet TEW-821DAP firmware 1.12B01. A remote authenticated attacker could potentially compromise the device. The product is end-of-life, and the vendor reportedly could not confirm the issue because it is unsupported.

Executive priority

Prioritize this for environments still using TEW-821DAP. The main business risk is unsupported infrastructure with a critical device-compromise issue and uncertain patch availability.

Technical view

The reported flaw affects the ssi component endpoint /goform/tools_nslookup, function sub_41EC14. VulDB classifies it as CWE-119/CWE-120 with CVSS v2 9.0: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C. Evidence indicates remote attack surface but authentication is required.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely where TRENDnet TEW-821DAP devices running firmware 1.12B01 remain deployed, especially if administration interfaces are reachable from user, guest, or internet-facing networks.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. Public sources indicate remote exploitability and required authentication, but vendor confirmation is limited because the product is end-of-life.

Researcher notes

The record is source-grounded but not fully vendor-confirmed. Treat affected-version matching and exposure validation as essential. Do not assume a fix exists from the provided sources; verify current vendor or maintainer guidance.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory for TRENDnet TEW-821DAP devices and firmware 1.12B01.
  • Replace or retire unsupported TEW-821DAP devices where feasible.
  • Restrict device management access to trusted administrative networks only.
  • Remove any internet exposure for the device management interface.
  • Review TRENDnet and referenced advisories for any vendor-supported guidance.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm whether TEW-821DAP exists in network asset inventory.
  • Verify firmware version against the reported affected version 1.12B01.
  • Check whether management interfaces are reachable from untrusted networks.
  • Review device access logs for unexpected administrative activity.
  • Document compensating controls if replacement cannot happen immediately.
