CVE-2026-24465
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 · uneditedStack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in ELECOM wireless LAN access point devices. A crafted packet may lead to arbitrary code execution.
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 in ELECOM wireless LAN access points allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via specially crafted packets. The critical severity (CVSS 9.8) indicates the flaw is network-exploitable without authentication, likely in the packet processing path of the wireless interface or management service.

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 the exact ELECOM access point modelCheck the device label, administrative web interface (usually at 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1), or the status page in the firmware for the exact model number (e.g., WRC-X1500GS-B, WAB-S300iw, etc.)Affected if The model matches any of the affected products listed in the CVE (Wab S300iw Pd, Wab S733iw Pd, Wrc X1500gsa B, Wrc X1500gs B, Wab S300iw2 Pd, Wab S300iw Ac, Wab S733iw2 Pd, Wab S733iw Ac)
-
Determine the installed firmware versionLog into the device administrative interface and navigate to System Status, Firmware Information, or similar section to view the current firmware version; alternatively, check via CLI if SSH/Telnet is enabledAffected if The firmware version is lower than the patched version (1.13 for Wrc X1500gsa B/Wrc X1500gs B, 5.5.02 for Wab S300iw2/Wab S733iw2/Wab S300iw Ac/Wab S733iw Ac, or any version for Wab S300iw Pd/Wab S733iw Pd which are affected in all versions)
-
Verify the wireless radio is enabledIn the web administrative interface, check the Wireless Settings or Radio Settings section to confirm the wireless access point functionality is turned onAffected if The wireless interface is enabled and the device is acting as an access point (the vulnerability is triggered via specially crafted wireless packets)
-
Assess network exposure of the management interfaceCheck the device IP configuration and determine if the administrative interface (HTTP/HTTPS) is accessible from untrusted networks (WAN/Internet) rather than only from isolated LAN segmentsAffected if The device management interface is exposed to untrusted networks or the wireless radio is accessible to untrusted users without additional filtering
You are affected if your device model matches one of the affected ELECOM products AND your firmware version falls within the vulnerable ranges (or is an all-versions model) AND the wireless functionality is enabled, as the stack overflow is triggered during packet processing.

dbcve · scoped1.135.5.02
Apply vendor-provided firmware updates to all affected ELECOM wireless access point devices immediately. If no patch is available, consider network segmentation to limit exposure and disable unnecessary management interfaces.
Wrc X1500gsa B/Wrc X1500gs B: upgrade to firmware >= 1.13; Wab S300iw2 Pd/Wab S300iw Ac/Wab S733iw2 Pd/Wab S733iw Ac: upgrade to firmware >= 5.5.02; Wab S300iw Pd/Wab S733iw Pd: contact vendor
- 1. Identify the exact model number and current firmware version of your ELECOM wireless access point device
- 2. For Wrc X1500gsa B and Wrc X1500gs B: Download firmware version 1.13 or later from www.elecom.co.jp
- 3. For Wab S300iw2 Pd, Wab S300iw Ac, Wab S733iw2 Pd, Wab S733iw Ac: Download firmware version 5.5.02 or later from www.elecom.co.jp
- 4. Access the device web management interface or use the ELECOM firmware update utility
- 5. Upload the new firmware file and initiate the update process
- 6. Wait for the update to complete and verify the device reboots successfully
- 7. Confirm the new firmware version is installed and the device is operational
- 8. For Wab S300iw Pd and Wab S733iw Pd (all versions affected): Contact ELECOM support directly to inquire about available firmware updates or remediation options
