Service crash via unchecked sprintf write
Published Jul 14, 2026 · Updated Jul 14, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda BE12 Pro 16.03.66.23 allows remote attackers to crash the web server via an oversized page value. The fromVirtualSer function passes the user-controlled page parameter to sprintf, which writes into the fixed 256-byte stack buffer s without a length check. The public proof of concept reaches /goform/VirtualSer without authentication and demonstrates the service interruption; adjacent-memory corruption also exposes a code-execution path.
