Unauthenticated memory corruption via oversized Wi-Fi key
Published Dec 30, 2022 · Updated Apr 11, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda A15 firmware 15.13.07.13 allows remote attackers to corrupt memory through a crafted Wi-Fi key. The /goform/WifiBasicSet handler accepts the wepkey3 parameter without checking its length, allowing the value to overrun a stack buffer. No authentication or user interaction is required; exploitation can crash the extender or execute code with the web service privileges.
