Unauthenticated memory corruption via Wi-Fi settings request
Published Jan 26, 2023 · Updated Mar 28, 2025
Buffer overflow in Tenda AC18 firmware 15.03.05.19 allows remote attackers to corrupt memory through a Wi-Fi settings request. The /goform/formWifiBasicSet handler writes attacker-controlled request data beyond a destination buffer, but public records do not identify the responsible parameter or copy operation. No authentication or user interaction is required, and published evidence does not establish whether exploitation stops at a router crash or enables code execution.
