Lifecycle Timeline
5DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was identified in Tenda W12 3.0.0.7(4763). The affected element is the function set_local_time_0 of the file /bin/httpd. Such manipulation of the argument Time leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda W12 firmware 3.0.0.7(4763) allows remote attackers to corrupt memory in the embedded HTTP daemon by supplying a crafted Time argument to the set_local_time_0 function in /bin/httpd. Publicly available exploit code exists, and the CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.4 reflects high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability with low-privilege network access. No CISA KEV listing or EPSS score is provided, so widespread opportunistic exploitation is not confirmed at this time.
Technical ContextAI
The Tenda W12 is an enterprise-grade wireless access point whose management interface is served by an embedded HTTP daemon (/bin/httpd) common to Tenda's MIPS/ARM-based SOHO and SMB networking products. CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow) indicates that the set_local_time_0 handler copies the Time parameter into a fixed-size stack buffer without adequate bounds checking, so an oversized value overruns the saved return address and adjacent locals. Embedded Tenda httpd binaries historically lack modern mitigations such as stack canaries, NX, and ASLR on all segments, which makes stack-based overflows in these devices unusually amenable to control-flow hijacking and ROP-based code execution.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; administrators should monitor https://www.tenda.com.cn/ for an updated W12 firmware image superseding 3.0.0.7(4763) and apply it as soon as it is published. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the device's HTTP management interface to a dedicated management VLAN or trusted admin workstations via ACLs, disable any WAN-side remote management option, and ensure the device is not reachable from the internet - recognizing the trade-off that remote administration workflows will be lost. Rotate the admin password to a strong unique value to raise the bar for the PR:L authentication requirement, and consider IPS signatures matching oversized Time parameters in POSTs to the time-setting endpoint of /bin/httpd; for high-risk deployments, replacing the device with a supported model is the most durable mitigation.
