CVE-2026-10066
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 security vulnerability has been detected in Shibby Tomato up to 1.28. This issue affects the function sub_9068 of the file tomatoups.cgi of the component UPS Service. The manipulation leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated 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 This project is superseded by FreshTomato.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 confidenceA stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the UPS Service component (tomatoups.cgi) of Shibby Tomato firmware up to version 1.28. The overflow occurs in function sub_9068 and can be exploited remotely via specially crafted input to the UPS service, potentially allowing 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.
-
Identify firmware version and variantCheck the running firmware version in the router's web interface under Administration > System or via the command line (nvram get firmwarever or cat /proc/version). Confirm it is Shibby Tomato and note the version number.Affected if The firmware is Shibby Tomato version 1.28 or any earlier version.
-
Confirm the UPS Service component is activeIn the router's web interface, navigate to the UPS settings page (usually under Basic > Network or USB/Storage). Verify if the UPS service is configured or enabled.Affected if The UPS Service is enabled or configured on the device.
-
Verify the CGI interface is accessibleAttempt to access the endpoint /tomatoups.cgi on the router's local IP (e.g., http://192.168.1.1/tomatoups.cgi). A successful HTTP response indicates the affected CGI script is present.Affected if The /tomatoups.cgi endpoint responds with any content (indicating it exists and is accessible).
You are affected if your device runs Shibby Tomato firmware version 1.28 or earlier, the UPS Service is enabled, and the /tomatoups.cgi interface is accessible on your network.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 end-of-life and superseded by FreshTomato, the recommended remediation is to migrate to FreshTomato or replace affected hardware with currently supported firmware. If the legacy system must remain operational, network segmentation and disabling the UPS service can reduce exposure.
FreshTomato (latest stable release)
- 1. Identify all devices or systems currently running Shibby Tomato firmware.
- 2. Download the latest stable FreshTomato release from the official FreshTomato project (as Shibby Tomato is discontinued and superseded by FreshTomato).
- 3. Review FreshTomato release notes to confirm the vulnerability has been addressed in the version you plan to use.
- 4. Backup current Shibby Tomato configuration if applicable.
- 5. Flash/upgrade each affected device from Shibby Tomato to the FreshTomato firmware.
- 6. After upgrade, verify the UPS service functionality works correctly in FreshTomato.
- 7. Confirm the tomatoups.cgi component no longer contains the vulnerable sub_9068 function or has been patched.
