Router crash via unchecked sprintf formatting
Published Mar 2, 2026 · Updated Mar 2, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AC6 V2.0 firmware 15.03.06.23_multi allows remote attackers to crash the router via a crafted HTTP request. The WifiWpsStart handler passes attacker-controlled index and mode values to sprintf for insertion into the stack buffer tmp without checking the resulting length. Network reachability is the only published gate, and the demonstrated consequence is a router crash; root-shell execution is asserted but not demonstrated.
