Authenticated code execution via unbounded sprintf
Published Feb 22, 2026 · Updated Feb 22, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda HG9 firmware 300001138 allows remote authenticated users to execute code through GPON settings. The formgponConf function formats the fmgpon_loid and fmgpon_loid_password parameters with unbounded sprintf calls into a 128-byte stack buffer. Low-privilege web access is required; oversized values overwrite control data, crash the HTTP service, or execute code with the web server's privileges.
