CVE-2025-7544Known exploitationPublic exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated code execution via unchecked deviceList copy

Published Jul 13, 2025 · Updated Jul 15, 2025

Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AC1206 15.03.06.23 allows remote authenticated users to execute code via deviceList. The parse_macfilter_rule function passes deviceList to strcpy without checking its length, overflowing stack buffer s_2. Access to the web management endpoint is required; exploitation can crash the router or execute code with the service's privileges.
