CVE-2024-52714Public exploit

Command execution via timezone stack buffer overflow

Published Nov 19, 2024 · Updated Jul 5, 2026

Stack buffer overflow in Tenda AC6 v2.0 firmware 15.03.06.50 allows remote attackers to execute commands via a crafted timeZone value. The fromSetSysTime handler passes attacker-controlled timeZone text through sscanf into the fixed-size stack buffer timezone_min_buf without enforcing its length. A crafted POST to /goform/SetSysTimeCfg can overwrite control data and drive a ROP chain that invokes system on the router.
