CVE-2023-44022Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote code execution via unchecked speed_dir length

Published Sep 27, 2023 · Updated Sep 24, 2024

Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AC10U v1.0 firmware V15.03.06.49 allows remote attackers to crash httpd or execute code. A crafted POST to /goform/SetSpeedWan supplies speed_dir, which formSetSpeedWan passes into a stack buffer without checking its length. No authentication or user interaction is required; the published proof of concept produces a segmentation fault, while code execution is reported but not demonstrated.
