Authenticated router crash via unchecked UPnP setting
Published Oct 9, 2025 · Updated Oct 9, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AC7 firmware 15.03.06.44 allows remote authenticated users to crash the router via UPnP settings. SetUpnpCfg stores an oversized upnpEn value as adv.upnp.en without length validation, and GetAdvanceStatus later copies it into a fixed-size stack buffer. Low-privileged management access is required; the demonstrated consequence is a crash, while code execution remains unverified.
