Stack-based Buffer Overflow in Moxa NPort W2150A-W4/W2250A-W4 Web Interface

IdentifiersCVE-2026-10829CWE-121· Stack-based Buffer Overflow

CVE-2026-10829 is a stack-based buffer overflow in the web service of Moxa NPort W2150A-W4 and W2250A-W4 Series devices running firmware version 1.5 and earlier. The flaw is caused by insufficient input validation of user-supplied data in the "Server location" parameter on the Basic settings page. By submitting crafted input to this parameter via the device web interface, an attacker can trigger memory corruption on the target system. Moxa indicates that successful exploitation may lead to remote code execution with root privileges.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation can corrupt process memory in the device web service and may allow authenticated remote code execution as root on the affected NPort device. Given the product role as a serial-to-Ethernet bridge commonly deployed in industrial and OT environments, compromise of the device could also provide an attacker with a foothold for further access into connected control or operational networks.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Until remediation is completed, restrict access to the device web interface to trusted administrators and management networks only, minimize or eliminate Internet exposure, and enforce network segmentation around affected serial device servers. Additional vendor-recommended measures include strengthening authentication, securing remote access paths, enabling logging and monitoring for anomalous activity, and conducting regular security assessments.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Apply Moxa's fixed firmware for the affected W4 series. The provided remediation is to upgrade NPort W2150A-W4/W2250A-W4 Series devices from firmware 1.5 or earlier to firmware version 1.5.1 or later. Moxa states the patch is available through Moxa Technical Support. For older phased-out NPort W2150A/W2250A models, Moxa advises replacing them with supported hardware running patched firmware.
