Vulnerability Assessment

Weakness	CWE CWE-121 ASVS 5.0 V15 - Secure Coding and Architecture Stack buffer bounds checking MITRE ATT&CK 1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. Sign in to read
Exploitation Conditions	Requires authenticated access to Tenda AC15 router running firmware 15.03.05.18. Attacker must be logged into the web interface to access /goform/SysToolChangePwd and send crafted oldPwd/newPwd/cfmPwd parameters triggering stack buffer overflow.
Impact	High-severity stack overflow in authenticated password change function. CVSS 8.8 reflects confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Moderate observed exploitation activity. Public exploit availability and authentication requirement (PR:L) reduce blast radius compared to unauthenticated flaws, but compromised accounts or default credentials enable full system compromise on vulnerable Tenda AC15 devices.
Exploit ScenarioDerived	Attacker with valid credentials accesses /goform/SysToolChangePwd endpoint and sends oversized oldPwd/newPwd/cfmPwd parameters to websGetVar function, triggering stack buffer overflow. Publicly available exploit code enables remote code execution with device privileges.

AnalysisAIv1 – Apr 09, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AC15 router firmware 15.03.05.18 websGetVar function allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability resides in /goform/SysToolChangePwd endpoint where manipulation of oldPwd, newPwd, or cfmPwd parameters triggers memory corruption. Publicly available exploit code exists. Exploitation requires low-privilege authenticated access but no user interaction, making it readily exploitable once credentials are obtained.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Tenda has not published security advisories addressing CVE-2026-5830 per https://www.tenda.com.cn/. Recommended immediate actions: restrict administrative interface access to trusted management networks only via firewall rules, disable remote administration features, implement strong unique credentials, monitor for unauthorized password change attempts in device logs. Consider replacement with actively maintained router firmware if vendor does not issue timely patch. Consult VulDB advisory https://vuldb.com/vuln/356277 and threat intelligence https://vuldb.com/vuln/356277/cti for updates. Organizations should evaluate device retirement if patch unavailable within acceptable risk timeframe given confirmed exploit availability.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Stack buffer overflow (CWE-121) in websGetVar function processing password change parameters. Insufficient input validation on oldPwd/newPwd/cfmPwd arguments permits oversized data to corrupt stack memory. Attack vector is network-accessible (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), requiring only authenticated low-privilege access (PR:L). Root cause is unbounded string copy operation in embedded web server password management routine.

DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was identified in Tenda AC15 15.03.05.18. This affects the function websGetVar of the file /goform/SysToolChangePwd. Such manipulation of the argument oldPwd/newPwd/cfmPwd leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Tenda AC15 routers running firmware 15.03.05.18 contain a stack buffer overflow in the password change function that allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary code with full system compromise. This affects organizations relying on Tenda AC15 devices for network access, as any employee or contractor with router credentials can escalate to complete device control without additional user interaction.

Business Impact: High

Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Disable WAN-accessible administration interfaces and restrict management access to trusted internal networks only; (2) Implement network-level access controls limiting who can reach router management ports; (3) Change all default/shared administrative credentials to unique, complex passwords; (4) Monitor router logs for suspicious /goform/SysToolChangePwd requests; (5) Isolate affected routers from critical infrastructure; (6) Evaluate vendor communication for patch release timeline and prepare contingency replacement devices.

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.

Stack-based Buffer Overflow HIGH

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.
