Unauthenticated memory corruption via unbounded MAC copy
Published Jul 24, 2025 · Updated Jul 5, 2026
Heap-based buffer overflow in Tenda AC8V4 firmware 16.03.34.06 allows remote attackers to corrupt memory via a crafted HTTP request. The GetParentControlInfo handler copies the unbounded POST mac value into a heap buffer with strcpy and performs no length check. No authentication or user interaction is required; successful exploitation can alter process memory or interrupt the router service.
