Impact

While the CVSS score of 5.1 suggests moderate severity, multiple signals indicate elevated practical risk. The CVSS vector (AV:A/AC:L/PR:L) confirms the attack requires local network access and authenticated privileges, but the presence of publicly available exploit code (POC status marked available) significantly lowers the barrier to weaponization. The attack complexity is low (AC:L), meaning exploitation does not require specialized conditions. The impact scope indicates low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), suggesting the overflow may not directly grant code execution or system compromise in its current form but could enable information disclosure or crash the service. However, stack overflow vulnerabilities are historically a stepping stone for privilege escalation or remote code execution with additional payload engineering. The local network requirement and authentication barrier provide some organizational control, but any authenticated user on the network (including compromised IoT devices or guest networks) could exploit this. The combination of public exploit availability, low attack complexity, and memory corruption primitive makes this a legitimate priority for organizations using Tenda CX12L, particularly those with shared or semi-trusted networks.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated attacker on the same local network (e.g., a compromised IoT device, guest network user, or internal malicious actor) sends a crafted HTTP POST request to /goform/P2pListFilter with an oversized or specially crafted page parameter, triggering a stack-based buffer overflow in the fromP2pListFilter function. This causes memory corruption that could crash the service, leak sensitive data from the stack, or potentially be chained with additional techniques to achieve code execution. Publicly available exploit code documented on GitHub (https://github.com/cve-a/lvdan/issues/1) lowers the skill barrier for exploitation.

AnalysisAIv1 – Apr 06, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda CX12L firmware version 16.03.53.12 allows authenticated local network attackers to cause memory corruption via manipulation of the page parameter in the P2pListFilter function. The vulnerability requires local network access and authenticated privileges but carries publicly available exploit code, elevating practical risk despite the moderate CVSS score of 5.1.

RemediationAI

Check the Tenda support page at https://www.tenda.com.cn/ for available firmware updates beyond version 16.03.53.12. Firmware updates from the vendor represent the primary remediation path; apply the latest stable release for CX12L once available. In the interim, implement network segmentation to restrict access to the P2pListFilter endpoint (/goform/P2pListFilter) to trusted management networks only, and disable remote management interfaces if not required. Monitor firewall and IDS logs for suspicious requests to the vulnerable endpoint. If the device is used in environments with untrusted local network access, consider replacing it with alternative equipment from vendors with active security patching practices. Consult VulDB entry https://vuldb.com/vuln/355510 and the CTI page https://vuldb.com/vuln/355510/cti for ongoing updates on available patches.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability exists in the P2pListFilter endpoint (/goform/P2pListFilter) within Tenda CX12L network equipment firmware. The root cause is a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) triggered by improper input validation on the page parameter, allowing an attacker to write beyond allocated stack memory boundaries. This is a classic memory safety vulnerability in C-based firmware code where input length is not properly bounded before copying to a fixed-size stack buffer. The affected product is identified via CPE cpe:2.3:a:tenda:cx12l:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, indicating all versions of the CX12L application are potentially vulnerable; however, the vulnerability was specifically documented in firmware version 16.03.53.12.

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.
