Tenda AC9 Buffer Overflow
2026-04-10
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AC9 router firmware 15.03.02.13 allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted PPPOEPassword parameter to formQuickIndex endpoint. Attack requires low-privilege credentials but no user interaction, enabling complete device compromise. Publicly available exploit code exists. CVSS 8.8 reflects network-accessible attack path with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AC9 router firmware 15.03.02.13 enables authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or crash the device. The vulnerability resides in the decodePwd function within /goform/WizardHandle POST request handler, triggered by manipulating the WANS parameter. Attack requires low-privilege authentication but no user interaction. CVSS 8.8 (High) reflects potential for complete system compromise. Publicly available exploit code exists; no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV).
