CVE-2022-37812Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote code execution via unchecked firewall parameter

Published Aug 25, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Stack overflow in Tenda AC1206 firmware 15.03.06.23 allows remote attackers to execute code via a crafted firewallEn parameter. The formSetFirewallCfg function passes the attacker-controlled firewallEn value to strcpy, which copies it into a fixed-size stack buffer without a length check. Network access to the router's web management interface is required; successful exploitation can crash the service or yield a root shell.
