WireGuard-Linux Stack-Based Buffer Overflow in lsiio (Linux IIO Userspace Tool) Due to Unbounded fscanf

The Linux IIO userspace tool lsiio has a stack buffer overflow in find_type_by_name() caused by unbounded fscanf reads of oversized filesystem-backed attribute values.

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the Linux Industrial I/O (IIO) userspace utility lsiio. In the find_type_by_name() function, the program reads an unbounded string from a filesystem-backed attribute into a fixed-size stack buffer using fscanf("%s", ...). A crafted or oversized attribute value causes a write beyond the bounds of the destination buffer. Despite the title's reference to WireGuard-Linux, the flaw described is in the IIO lsiio utility.

Palo Alto Networks security advisory (AV26-905)

Canada's Cyber Centre relayed Palo Alto Networks advisories covering PAN-OS, Cloud NGFW, Prisma Access, and Prisma Browser vulnerabilities, including PAN-OS CVE-2026-0310 buffer overflow.

The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security issued advisory AV26-905, noting that as of September 10, 2026, multiple Palo Alto Networks products are affected by vulnerabilities. Affected products include Cloud NGFW on AWS and Azure, multiple PAN-OS versions, Prisma Access, and Prisma Browser prior to 151.26.5.170. The advisory references CVE-2026-0310, a PAN-OS buffer overflow via XML processing (PAN-SA-2026-0012), and the September 2026 Chromium monthly vulnerability update. Administrators are encouraged to review the vendor links and apply available updates.

Cisco RoomOS Stack Overflow Vulnerability

Cisco fixed a stack overflow in the RoomOS USB driver allowing physical-access attackers to execute code with root privileges.

Insufficient boundary checks in the USB driver of Cisco RoomOS allow a buffer overflow when specific data is supplied through the USB port. An unauthenticated local attacker with physical access can connect a malicious USB device and execute arbitrary code with root privileges. Cisco has released software updates and no workarounds address the issue.

Researchers Use Claude to Port Pre-Auth RCE Exploit From One PLC Model to Another

Forescout used Anthropic's Claude to port a working pre-auth RCE exploit for CVE-2021-31886 between WAGO PLCs, executing ARM shellcode on live hardware.

Forescout Vedere Labs used Claude interactively to port an RCE exploit for CVE-2021-31886, a CVSS 9.8 stack buffer overflow in the Nucleus FTP server's USER command, from a WAGO 750-852 to a WAGO 750-831 PLC, running attacker-supplied ARM shellcode. The final RCE stage cost $535.74 in API usage over 8 hours 32 minutes, and a follow-up attempt to build a C2 implant permanently bricked the device. CERT@VDE lists many Nucleus V1-based WAGO models as vulnerable with no updates available; Siemens plans no Nucleus NET remediation. The work follows a joint NSA/CISA/FBI/DOE/EPA advisory warning of AI-generated exploitation scripts targeting internet-exposed Siemens S7 PLCs.
