DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was determined in Tenda CX12L 16.03.53.12. Affected by this issue is the function fromwebExcptypemanFilter of the file /goform/webExcptypemanFilter. Executing a manipulation of the argument page can lead to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack requires access to the local network. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.

AnalysisAI

Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda CX12L wireless router firmware 16.03.53.12 allows authenticated adjacent network attackers to execute arbitrary code or crash the device via crafted 'page' parameter to the /goform/webExcptypemanFilter endpoint. Publicly available exploit code exists (GitHub POC published), enabling straightforward exploitation against unpatched routers on the same LAN segment. EPSS score of 0.03% suggests limited mass exploitation to date, though adjacent network requirement naturally constrains attack surface to local/corporate networks rather than internet-wide scanning.

Technical ContextAI

This is a classic stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) in embedded device firmware. The vulnerable function fromwebExcptypemanFilter processes HTTP form data submitted to /goform/webExcptypemanFilter without proper bounds checking on the 'page' parameter. When an oversized value is provided, it overwrites the function's stack frame, potentially overwriting return addresses or function pointers. CPE 2.3 string identifies the affected asset as Tenda CX12L router firmware. Tenda consumer routers typically run lightweight RTOS or Linux-based firmware with web management interfaces implemented in C/C++, making them susceptible to memory corruption vulnerabilities when input validation is insufficient. The stack overflow occurs server-side during form processing, meaning successful exploitation grants full device privileges.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Check Tenda's official support site (https://www.tenda.com.cn/) for firmware updates newer than 16.03.53.12 that may address this vulnerability. Until patched firmware is available, implement these compensating controls: (1) Restrict web management interface access to specific administrator IP addresses via router access control lists, reducing attack surface to trusted management hosts only (trade-off: impacts remote management convenience). (2) Disable remote/WAN-side management entirely if not required, ensuring the vulnerable endpoint is only accessible from LAN side (trade-off: eliminates legitimate remote admin). (3) Implement network segmentation to isolate management VLAN from general user networks, requiring attackers to first pivot through network boundaries (trade-off: adds infrastructure complexity). (4) Monitor authentication logs for unusual login patterns to the web interface, as PR:L requirement means attacker must authenticate first. (5) Consider replacing affected devices with alternative router models if Tenda does not release timely security updates.
