Authenticated memory corruption via unbounded password copy
Published Mar 26, 2026 · Updated Mar 26, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AC5 15.03.06.47 allows remote authenticated users to corrupt memory via PPPOEPassword. In formQuickIndex, sub_4F7C0 copies the POST parameter into a 72-byte stack array without checking its length. A logged-in network user can reach the handler; the published proof of concept demonstrates memory corruption but not code execution.
