Code execution via unbounded sprintf
Published Jun 29, 2026 · Updated Jun 29, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda JD12L 16.03.53.23 allows remote attackers to execute code through a crafted page parameter. The fromAddressNat function passes the unbounded parameter to sprintf, which writes into a fixed 256-byte stack buffer at /goform/addressNat. The published proof of concept reports no authentication gate, while the CNA metrics require low privileges; successful requests can crash the management service or redirect execution.
