Lifecycle Timeline
5DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability has been found in Tenda W20E 15.11.0.6. Impacted is the function modifyWifiFilterRules of the file /goform/modifyWifiFilterRules of the component Web Management Interface. The manipulation of the argument wifiFilterListRemark leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in the Tenda W20E router (firmware 15.11.0.6) allows remote authenticated attackers to corrupt memory via the wifiFilterListRemark parameter of the /goform/modifyWifiFilterRules endpoint in the Web Management Interface. Publicly available exploit code exists per VulDB disclosure, raising the practical risk for exposed management interfaces, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis confirms active in-the-wild exploitation. CVSS 4.0 score of 7.4 reflects high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact with low privileges required.
Technical ContextAI
The Tenda W20E is an enterprise-grade wireless router whose firmware exposes a web-based management interface implemented through /goform/ CGI-style handlers. The vulnerable function modifyWifiFilterRules processes WiFi MAC filter rule modifications, and the wifiFilterListRemark argument (a user-supplied remark/description field) is copied into a fixed-size stack buffer without proper bounds checking. This is a textbook CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow), a memory safety flaw common in embedded MIPS/ARM router firmware where developers use unsafe C string functions like strcpy or sprintf. On such embedded Linux devices, stack overflows frequently lead to control of saved return addresses and ultimately arbitrary code execution as root, since router firmware rarely deploys modern mitigations like stack canaries, ASLR, or NX consistently. CPE data confirms cpe:2.3:a:tenda:w20e (all versions of the W20E line per the wildcard, with 15.11.0.6 explicitly named).
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - check https://www.tenda.com.cn/ for an updated W20E firmware release superseding 15.11.0.6 and apply it as soon as available. In the meantime, restrict access to the Web Management Interface by disabling remote/WAN-side administration entirely (the most effective compensating control, with the trade-off that administrators must be on the LAN or VPN to manage the device), enforce strong unique administrator credentials to raise the bar for the PR:L precondition, and place the management interface behind a firewall ACL that only permits trusted management subnets to reach /goform/modifyWifiFilterRules. Monitor the VulDB tracking pages (https://vuldb.com/vuln/369144 and https://vuldb.com/vuln/369144/cti) for vendor response updates, and consider replacing end-of-support W20E units if no firmware fix materializes.
