CVE-2026-10065
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA weakness has been identified in Shibby Tomato 1.28. This vulnerability affects the function get_ups_field of the file tomatodata.cgi. Executing a manipulation of the argument Date can lead to stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. This project is superseded by FreshTomato. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceStack-based buffer overflow in the get_ups_field function of tomatodata.cgi in Shibby Tomato 1.28 allows remote attackers to overflow a stack buffer by manipulating the Date argument, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Shibby Tomato versionAccess the router's web interface or check the firmware image file for the exact version number. Look for 'Tomato' in the admin dashboard or system information page.Affected if The installed version is 1.28 or falls within the Shibby Tomato 1.28 release line
-
Verify UPS monitoring is enabledLog into the router's web interface and navigate to the UPS or Power Management settings section. Check if UPS monitoring functionality is turned on.Affected if UPS monitoring is enabled and running on the device
-
Check for tomatodata.cgi accessibilityAttempt to access the /tomatodata.cgi endpoint on the router (e.g., http://<router-ip>/tomatodata.cgi). This is the affected CGI binary containing the vulnerable get_ups_field function.Affected if The tomatodata.cgi script is accessible and responds to requests
-
Inspect Date parameter handlingIf UPS monitoring is enabled, examine how the Date parameter is processed by the web interface or captured in logs. The vulnerability is triggered through manipulation of this parameter.Affected if The Date parameter can be submitted to tomatodata.cgi and the UPS monitoring feature accepts external input for date-related fields
A device is affected if it runs Shibby Tomato 1.28 with UPS monitoring functionality enabled and the tomatodata.cgi interface is accessible, allowing manipulation of the Date parameter.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedSince Shibby Tomato is no longer supported, migrate to FreshTomato or replace the affected device. If immediate migration is not possible, restrict network access to the tomatodata.cgi endpoint as a temporary measure.
FreshTomato (latest stable release)
- 1. Identify your router model and verify FreshTomato supports it by checking the FreshTomato website or documentation.
- 2. Download the appropriate FreshTomato firmware version for your router from the official FreshTomato website.
- 3. Access your router's web admin interface (typically http://192.168.1.1).
- 4. Navigate to the Administration > Firmware Upgrade section.
- 5. Upload and flash the FreshTomato firmware file.
- 6. After the router reboots, log into the FreshTomato interface and reconfigure your network settings as needed.
