DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Tenda AC5 15.03.06.47. Affected by this issue is the function formSetPPTPUserList of the file /goform/setPptpUserList. The manipulation of the argument list leads to buffer overflow. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A critical remote buffer overflow vulnerability has been publicly disclosed in Tenda AC5 routers (firmware 15.03.06.47), allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code without user interaction. Organizations using affected Tenda devices face immediate risk of network compromise, data theft, and lateral movement into internal systems, with active exploitation likely given public exploit availability.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Implement network segmentation to restrict router management access to authorized networks only; disable PPTP if not actively used; deploy WAF/IDS rules to block malicious payloads targeting /goform/setPptpUserList endpoint; restrict WAN access to router administration interfaces; monitor router logs for suspicious activity on formSetPPTPUserList function calls; consider temporary replacement with alternative networking equipment until patch availability is confirmed.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
