DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was identified in Tenda FH451 1.0.0.9. Affected by this vulnerability is the function formQuickIndex of the file /goform/QuickIndex. Such manipulation of the argument mit_linktype/PPPOEPassword leads to stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.8) in Tenda FH451 routers lacks available patches and has active public exploits, creating immediate risk for organizations using this device. Affected users face potential unauthorized access, data interception, and network compromise, requiring urgent mitigation actions to prevent exploitation.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Implement network segmentation to isolate affected devices from critical assets. Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules blocking requests to /goform/QuickIndex endpoint with suspicious parameters. Disable remote management and UPnP features if not required. Restrict administrative access to the device using IP whitelisting. Monitor for exploitation attempts via network-based intrusion detection. Implement VPN enforcement for any necessary remote access to network segments containing these devices.

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.

A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than it was allocated to hold.
