DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was found in Tenda i3 1.0.0.6(2204). Affected by this vulnerability is the function formSetAutoPing of the file /goform/setAutoPing. Performing a manipulation of the argument ping1/ping2 results in stack-based buffer overflow. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.8) has been identified in Tenda i3 routers that could allow attackers to compromise affected devices without requiring authentication. With public exploits available and no vendor patch currently released, any organization using this router model faces immediate risk of network intrusion and data exposure.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Disable the Auto Ping feature via device configuration if accessible; implement network access controls (ACLs) to restrict access to the /goform/setAutoPing endpoint; deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to monitor and block suspicious requests to the vulnerable function; segment affected routers on isolated VLANs; consider replacing with patched firmware versions if available from Tenda, or transition to alternative vendor equipment.

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.
