AnalysisAI

Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda CH22 router version 1.0.0.1 allows authenticated remote attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution via the webSiteId parameter in the formWebTypeLibrary function. Public exploit code exists on GitHub, significantly lowering the barrier to exploitation. While requiring low-privilege authentication (PR:L), the vulnerability enables complete compromise of router confidentiality, integrity, and availability with low attack complexity.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability affects the Tenda CH22 router firmware version 1.0.0.1, specifically within the Parameter Handler component that processes web interface requests. The formWebTypeLibrary function in /goform/webtypelibrary endpoint fails to properly validate input length for the webSiteId parameter before copying it to a fixed-size stack buffer. This is a classic CWE-121 stack-based buffer overflow, where attacker-controlled data exceeds allocated stack memory boundaries. Stack overflows are particularly dangerous in embedded devices like routers because they can overwrite return addresses and function pointers, enabling arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the web server process. The CPE identifier cpe:2.3:a:tenda:ch22:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms this affects the Tenda CH22 product line, though the specific vulnerable version is 1.0.0.1.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified in the available intelligence at time of analysis. Users should immediately check the Tenda support website at https://www.tenda.com.cn/ for firmware updates newer than version 1.0.0.1 and apply them if available. As interim mitigations, organizations should disable remote administration features to reduce network-based attack surface, change default administrative credentials to complex passwords unique to each device, implement network segmentation to isolate IoT devices including routers from critical systems, and restrict administrative interface access to trusted IP addresses only through firewall rules. Consider replacing affected devices with alternative router models if Tenda does not release a security update within a reasonable timeframe. Monitor the VulDB advisory at https://vuldb.com/vuln/354332 for updates on patch availability. For environments where these devices cannot be immediately replaced or patched, place them behind additional network security controls and monitor for suspicious authentication attempts or unusual outbound traffic patterns.
