Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Shenzhen Tenda Technology Co., Ltd Tenda W15E v15.11.0.10 was discovered to contain a buffer overflow in the gotoUrl parameter of the formPortalAuth function. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted HTTP request.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in Tenda W15E v15.11.0.10 routers can be triggered by remote unauthenticated attackers sending a crafted HTTP request that overflows the gotoUrl parameter in the formPortalAuth function. The CVSS 7.5 score reflects high availability impact with no confidentiality or integrity loss, and at the time of analysis no public exploit identified at time of analysis though a proof-of-concept research repository is referenced. EPSS is very low (0.02%, 4th percentile), suggesting limited real-world exploitation interest despite the network-reachable attack surface.
Technical ContextAI
The Tenda W15E is a small-business wireless access point/router with a captive portal authentication web interface. The vulnerable formPortalAuth handler is part of the device's embedded HTTP server (commonly httpd/goahead-derived in Tenda firmware) which processes portal authentication requests. The gotoUrl parameter - typically used to redirect users after portal login - is copied into a fixed-size stack buffer without proper bounds checking, matching CWE-120 (Classic Buffer Overflow). On the MIPS/ARM embedded targets typical for Tenda devices, oversized input corrupts the stack frame and crashes the httpd process, producing a denial of service; the CVSS vector (C:N/I:N/A:H) indicates impact is limited to availability rather than code execution in this assessment.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - Shenzhen Tenda has not published an advisory or fixed firmware version in the available references. Operators should check the Tenda support portal (tendacn.com) for a firmware update newer than v15.11.0.10 and apply it once available. As compensating controls, restrict access to the device's HTTP management and captive portal interfaces to trusted management VLANs by configuring upstream ACLs or the device's own remote-management lockdown (trade-off: portal users on the LAN side may still reach the endpoint); if the captive portal feature is not used, disable it entirely in the W15E web UI to remove the vulnerable formPortalAuth code path (trade-off: loses guest authentication functionality); and place the device behind a reverse proxy or firewall that rate-limits and length-limits the gotoUrl query parameter (trade-off: requires inline infrastructure and may break legitimate long redirect URLs).
