Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was identified in Tenda F1202 1.2.0.20(408). This affects the function fromPptpUserAdd of the file /goform/PptpUserAdd. The manipulation of the argument opttype leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda F1202 router firmware 1.2.0.20(408) allows authenticated remote attackers to corrupt memory via the opttype parameter in the fromPptpUserAdd function at /goform/PptpUserAdd, enabling potential arbitrary code execution with total impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Publicly available exploit code exists (VulDB-referenced PoC on GitHub), though EPSS rates exploitation probability low at 0.05% and the issue is not on CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The Tenda F1202 is a SOHO/SMB wireless router whose web management interface exposes /goform/ endpoints implemented in native C handlers. The vulnerable function fromPptpUserAdd processes PPTP VPN user-add requests, and the opttype argument is copied into a fixed-size stack buffer without bounds validation - the classic CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow) pattern common in MIPS/ARM embedded firmware where stack canaries, ASLR, and NX are frequently absent or weakly applied, making memory corruption directly convertible to control-flow hijack. CPE cpe:2.3:a:tenda:f1202:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates the application-level firmware component is the affected surface.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - Tenda has not published a fixed firmware build in the referenced data, so contact Tenda support (https://www.tenda.com.cn/) and monitor for an updated 1.2.0.x release that supersedes 1.2.0.20(408). As compensating controls, disable the PPTP VPN server feature in the router's admin UI if not in use to eliminate the vulnerable code path (side effect: any in-place PPTP VPN clients lose connectivity), restrict access to the web management interface to a trusted management VLAN or specific admin host so unauthenticated network reachability to /goform/PptpUserAdd is removed, and change default administrator credentials plus enforce strong unique passwords to raise the PR:L bar. WAN-side admin access should be disabled outright; for additional defense, place the device behind an upstream firewall blocking inbound HTTP/HTTPS to the router and consider replacing end-of-life Tenda hardware if no firmware fix appears.
