4Description
A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Tenda FH1201 1.2.0.14(408). This affects an unknown part of the file /goform/SafeMacFilter. The manipulation of the argument page leads to stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
Analysis
Critical stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Tenda FH1201 firmware version 1.2.0.14(408) affecting the /goform/SafeMacFilter endpoint. An authenticated remote attacker can exploit the 'page' parameter to achieve remote code execution with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Public exploit code exists and the vulnerability is actively exploitable.
Technical Context
The vulnerability exists in the SafeMacFilter form handler within Tenda's proprietary firmware, likely implemented in C/C++ without proper input validation. The stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-119) occurs when the 'page' parameter is passed without bounds checking to a fixed-size stack buffer, allowing attackers to overwrite the stack frame and potentially execute arbitrary code. Tenda FH1201 is a wireless router/access point that uses embedded Linux with custom web interface handlers. The /goform endpoint is a CGI application handler typical in consumer networking equipment that processes form submissions. CPE identifier: cpe:2.3:o:tenda:fh1201_firmware:1.2.0.14\(408\):*:*:*:*:*:*:*
Affected Products
Tenda FH1201 firmware version 1.2.0.14(408) and likely earlier versions. CPE: cpe:2.3:o:tenda:fh1201_firmware:1.2.0.14\(408\):*:*:*:*:*:*:*. Potentially affected: other Tenda router models using similar SafeMacFilter implementation in affected firmware branches. Tenda has not issued public advisories in major CVE databases; firmware updates may be available directly from Tenda support or device management interfaces.
Remediation
Immediate actions: (1) Update FH1201 firmware to version newer than 1.2.0.14(408) if available from Tenda's support portal or device web interface (Administration > Firmware Upgrade). (2) Disable remote management/WAN access to the router's web interface if not required (Administration > Remote Management—disable). (3) Change default administrative credentials (typically admin/admin on Tenda devices). (4) Restrict access to /goform endpoints via firewall rules at network perimeter. (5) Monitor for suspicious POST requests to /goform/SafeMacFilter in device logs. Contact Tenda support (support.tenda.com.cn or regional support) for patched firmware availability and timeline. Workaround: isolate affected device to trusted LAN only until patch is deployed.
