CVE-2026-3273Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Code execution via unchecked sprintf in formWrlsafeset

Published Feb 27, 2026 · Updated Feb 27, 2026

Buffer overflow in Tenda F453 1.0.0.3 httpd allows remote authenticated users to execute code via a crafted wireless-setting request. The formWrlsafeset handler passes the attacker-controlled mit_ssid_index value to sprintf without a length check, overflowing stack buffer s_. Low-privilege access to the management endpoint is required; successful exploitation can crash httpd or execute code on the appliance.
