Unauthenticated service interruption via unchecked sscanf parsing
Published Mar 2, 2026 · Updated Mar 2, 2026
Buffer overflow in Tenda W20E V4.0 firmware 15.11.0.6 allows remote attackers to interrupt service via a crafted userInfo value. The goform/formAddWewifiWhiteUser handler passes userInfo into addWewifiWhiteUser, where sscanf processes it without validating its size against the destination buffer. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the published CISA assessment bounds the demonstrated consequence to availability loss.
