Last modified

CVE-2025-15608 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.7/10 on the CVSS scale. This vulnerability in AX53 v1 results from insufficient input sanitization in the device’s probe handling logic, where unvalidated parameters can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow that causes the affected service to crash and, under specific conditions, may enable remote code execution through complex heap-spray techniques. Successful exploitation may result in repeated service unavailability and, in certain scenarios, allow an attacker to gain control of the device.. EPSS estimates a 0.53% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
