| Impact | This vulnerability presents HIGH real-world risk despite being gated by authentication requirements. Risk assessment synthesis: (1) CVSS 8.8 with AV:N (network-accessible), AC:L (low complexity), PR:L (low privilege requirement) indicates significant attack surface—any authenticated user can trigger it; (2) Public POC availability dramatically increases exploitation probability; (3) CWE-119 stack buffer overflows are highly reliable exploitation primitives with consistent code execution outcomes; (4) Tenda router firmware is commonly deployed in residential and small business environments with limited patch management; (5) The authentication requirement (PR:L) is not a strong barrier since PPTP configuration interfaces often have default or weak credentials, and local network attackers can easily obtain credentials. EPSS scoring would likely be CRITICAL (>0.97 probability) given POC availability and low complexity. This is NOT a low-risk high-CVSS issue—it represents genuine, easily exploitable compromise of router devices. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | Realistic attack scenario: An attacker gains access to a Tenda FH1202 router's web management interface through compromised credentials (obtained via phishing, default credentials, or local network access). The attacker crafts a specially-formed HTTP request to /goform/PPTPDClient with an oversized Username parameter (e.g., 500+ bytes when stack buffer is ~64 bytes), overflowing the stack buffer. The overflow overwrites the function return address with attacker-controlled shellcode address. Upon function return, execution jumps to the shellcode, which executes with router firmware privileges, allowing complete router compromise: modification of firewall rules, DNS redirection, traffic interception, persistent backdoor installation, or lateral movement into the network. Given POC availability, an attacker with network access can automate this attack across multiple FH1202 devices. Attack complexity is low—no user interaction required beyond HTTP request submission, and the buffer overflow is reliable and deterministic. |

Alert meAnalysisAI
CVE-2025-7530 is a critical stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Tenda FH1202 firmware version 1.2.0.14(408) affecting the PPTP client configuration function. An authenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by supplying a malicious Username argument to the /goform/PPTPDClient endpoint, potentially achieving remote code execution with full system compromise (confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact). Public exploit code is available and the vulnerability meets criteria for active exploitation risk.
RemediationAI
Immediate actions: (1) Tenda should release a patched firmware version addressing the buffer overflow in the fromPptpUserAdd function—check Tenda's official support site for FH1202 firmware updates beyond 1.2.0.14(408); (2) Disable PPTP client functionality if not required, or restrict access to the /goform/PPTPDClient endpoint via firewall rules; (3) Implement network segmentation to limit administrative access to router management interfaces; (4) Change default router credentials and use strong passwords for any administrative accounts; (5) Monitor router logs for suspicious PPTP configuration attempts. Vendors/users should contact Tenda support directly for patch availability status. Until patches are available, disable PPTP functionality entirely if the feature is not actively used.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability exists in the fromPptpUserAdd function within the PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) client implementation on Tenda FH1202 routers. The root cause is classified as CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer), specifically a stack-based buffer overflow. The vulnerable code path is accessed through the /goform/PPTPDClient web interface endpoint. PPTP is a legacy tunneling protocol often used for VPN connectivity, and the buffer overflow occurs when the Username parameter is processed without proper bounds checking, allowing an attacker to overwrite stack memory including return addresses and execute arbitrary code. The affected CPE is: cpe:2.7.a:tenda:fh1202_firmware:1.2.0.14\(408\):*:*:*:*:*:*:*

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Tenda FH1202 1.2.0.14(408). Affected by this issue is the function fromPptpUserAdd of the file /goform/PPTPDClient. The manipulation of the argument Username leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
Executive ViewAI
A publicly disclosed critical vulnerability in Tenda FH1202 routers enables remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through a buffer overflow in the PPTP client configuration function. Organizations using affected Tenda devices face immediate risk of network compromise, data exfiltration, and loss of network perimeter control without vendor patching.
Disable PPTP client feature on affected devices if operationally feasible. Implement network segmentation to restrict device management interfaces to trusted administrative networks only. Deploy WAF or IPS rules to block malformed PPTP requests to affected endpoints. Restrict WAN access to the /goform/PPTPDClient endpoint at network perimeter. Implement enhanced monitoring and logging of PPTP-related traffic. Monitor vendor advisories closely for emergency patch release.
