CVE-2026-76071 is a critical-severity flaw (CVSS 9.8) affecting affected software. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
Netis NC63 firmware through V3.0.0.3327 contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to overwrite saved stack state by supplying an oversized destHost parameter to the ipFilterList=mod action in netis.cgi. Attackers can exploit widthless sscanf conversions that copy user-supplied input into fixed-size stack buffers before authentication is verified, achieving remote code execution as root due t
