A security vulnerability has been detected in Tenda CX12L 16.03.53.12. The affected element is the function form_fast_setting_wifi_set of the file /goform/fast_setting_wifi_set of the component Wi-Fi Configuration Endpoint. Such manipulation of the argument ssid leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in the Tenda CX12L router (firmware 16.03.53.12) allows authenticated remote attackers to corrupt memory via the ssid parameter of the /goform/fast_setting_wifi_set endpoint, handled by the form_fast_setting_wifi_set function. Publicly available exploit code exists per VulDB disclosure, raising the likelihood of opportunistic exploitation against exposed management interfaces. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network reachability to the Tenda CX12L web management interface on firmware 16.03.53.12 and a valid low-privilege session token sufficient to invoke /goform/fast_setting_wifi_set (per CVSS PR:L); no user interaction and no additional attack requirements are needed (UI:N, AT:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring only low-privilege authentication, with high impact on all three CIA properties on the vulnerable component (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) and no scope change. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with low-privilege web UI credentials (or who has reached the admin interface through credential reuse, default credentials, or LAN access) sends a crafted POST to /goform/fast_setting_wifi_set with an oversized ssid value, overflowing the stack buffer inside form_fast_setting_wifi_set and overwriting the saved return address. Using the publicly disclosed proof of concept hosted at https://github.com/cve-a/moist/issues/1, the attacker pivots from memory corruption to arbitrary code execution as the web server process, typically root on Tenda firmware, gaining full control of the router for traffic interception, DNS hijacking, or botnet recruitment. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; monitor https://www.tenda.com.cn/ and the VulDB entry at https://vuldb.com/vuln/369123 for an updated firmware build that supersedes 16.03.53.12. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
24 hours: Identify all Tenda CX12L routers running firmware 16.03.53.12 in production; map network exposure of management interfaces; block unauthorized network access to the /goform/fast_setting_wifi_set endpoint at the firewall level. …
