CVE-2018-10088 is an unauthenticated remote stack-based buffer overflow in XiongMai uc-httpd 1.0.0 affecting internet-exposed DVR, NVR, and IP camera devices. The flaw is triggered through an HTTP login request and has been described as involving an overlong login parameter processed by the web server, causing memory corruption on the stack. Available analysis characterizes the issue as a stack overflow in the login handling path of uc-httpd, and later research indicates exploitation can corrupt adjacent state and potentially redirect control flow. The vulnerability is distinct from later XiongMai HTTP parsing flaws such as CVE-2022-45460. Public proof-of-concept material has existed for years, although some widely circulated examples reportedly only crash the target rather than achieve reliable code execution. The issue has nevertheless been associated with botnet exploitation activity targeting XiongMai-based surveillance devices.
