Unauthenticated memory corruption via unbounded sprintf
Published Oct 8, 2025 · Updated Oct 8, 2025
Buffer overflow in Tenda CH22 Firmware 1.0.0.1 allows remote attackers to corrupt memory through a crafted SafeEmailFilter request. The formSafeEmailFilter function passes the user-controlled page parameter to sprintf, which writes into a fixed 256-byte buffer without a length limit. No authentication is required; an oversized HTTP POST can crash the management service, while control-flow manipulation is also reported.
