Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • A structured source references public exploit or proof-of-concept material.
  • EPSS is 0.22% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict local access and enforce least privilege on affected hosts.
  • Increase monitoring for the attack path and post-exploitation behaviour described in the report.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs zephyrproject zephyr and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: As exposure requiresRemediation target: Within 365 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

What, why and how

The nRF70 Wi-Fi driver's power-save event handler nrf_wifi_event_proc_get_power_save_info() in drivers/wifi/nrf_wifi/src/wifi_mgmt.c copied TWT (Target Wake Time) flow entries from an nrf_wifi_umac_event_power_save_info event into the fixed-size twt_flows[WIFI_MAX_TWT_FLOWS] (8-element) array of a caller-supplied struct wifi_ps_config, looping over event-provided num_twt_flows without validating it against WIFI_MAX_TWT_FLOWS or checking event_len. When num_twt_flows exceeds 8, the handler writes past the destination array (which is typically on the caller's stack, e.g. the wifi ps shell command) -- an out-of-bounds write of ~40-byte TWT entries -- and reads twt_flow_info[i] past the event buffer. The event is delivered by the nRF70 co-processor firmware in response to a host-initiated power-save GET, so reaching the overflow requires the firmware to emit a malformed or out-of-range event; the trust boundary is host-to-trusted-coprocessor rather than a direct remote-AP write, with over-the-air influence on the flow count being indirect and bounded by the 3-bit TWT flow-id space. Affected: builds with CONFIG_NRF70_STA_MODE on releases through v4.4.0. The fix rejects events with num_twt_flows > WIFI_MAX_TWT_FLOWS or with event_len shorter than the claimed entries, and adds a NULL check on the caller buffer.

Why

A bounds error lets data be written beyond the intended memory region, potentially corrupting control data.

How

An attacker operating through an adjacent network may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
Reference recorded

A structured CVE source labels at least one public reference as exploit material. BlackTree has not independently validated that it is safe, reliable or weaponised.

CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write. The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

JVN iPedia · Japanese · JVNDB-2026-024227Zephyr ProjectのZephyrにおける境界外書き込みに関する脆弱性

nRF70 Wi-Fiドライバーの省電力イベントハンドラーである nrf_wifi_event_proc_get_power_save_info()(drivers/wifi/nrf_wifi/src/wifi_mgmt.c 内)は、nrf_wifi_umac_event_power_save_info イベントからTWT(Target Wake Time)フローエントリを、呼び出し元が提供する struct wifi_ps_config の固定サイズ配列 twt_flows[WIFI_MAX_TWT_FLOWS](8要素)にコピーしています。この際、イベントが提供する num_twt_flows に対して WIFI_MAX_TWT_FLOWS との検証や event_len の確認を行わずにループ処理をしています。num_twt_flows が8を超えると、ハンドラーは通常呼び出し元のスタック上にある配列の境界を越えて書き込みを行い(約40バイトのTWTエントリの範囲外書き込み)、さらにイベントバッファの範囲外から twt_flow_info[i] を読み取ってしまいます。このイベントは、ホスト起因の省電力GETに応答して nRF70 コプロセッサのファームウェアから送出されるため、オーバーフローに至るにはファームウェアが不正または範囲外のイベントを生成する必要があります。信頼境界はホストから信頼されたコプロセッサ間にあり、直接リモートAPからの書き込みではなく、TWTフローID空間の3ビットによりフロー数への無線経由の影響は間接的かつ制限されています。影響を受けるビルドは CONFIG_NRF70_STA_MODE を有効にした v4.4.0 までのリリースです。修正では、num_twt_flows が WIFI_MAX_TWT_FLOWS を超えるか、event_len が主張されたエントリ数に対して短い場合にイベントを拒否し、呼び出し元バッファに対して NULL チェックを追加しています。
