CVE-2024-10698Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated code execution via devName stack overflow

Published Nov 2, 2024 · Updated Nov 5, 2024

Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AC6 15.03.05.19 allows remote authenticated users to crash the router or execute code via devName. The formSetDeviceName handler concatenates the supplied device name after matching the submitted MAC address, overflowing a stack buffer when tpi_set_mac_info succeeds. Management access and the correct device MAC are required; the published proof of concept demonstrates a crash on physical hardware and describes ROP-based code execution.
