AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda i12 version 1.0.0.6(2204) allows remote authenticated attackers to achieve complete system compromise through improper input validation in the wifiSSIDget function. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, and no patch is currently available. An attacker with network access and valid credentials can trigger the overflow via the index parameter to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A HIGH severity vulnerability (CVE-2026-4043) affects Tenda i12 wireless devices running firmware 1.0.0.6(2204), exposing organizations to potential network compromise through the WiFi SSID configuration function. Organizations deploying these devices face immediate risk of unauthorized access or data interception, with no vendor patch currently available to remediate the issue.

Business Impact: High

Compensating Controls

Implement network segmentation to restrict administrative access to affected devices; deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block or monitor /goform/wifiSSIDget endpoints; disable remote management capabilities if not operationally required; restrict device access to trusted networks only via firewall rules; increase monitoring and logging for device configuration changes; consider temporarily disabling WiFi functionality if devices are not critical to operations.

Attack Technique

Buffer Overflow HIGH

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.
