Authenticated code execution via unchecked fileNameMit formatting
Published Mar 30, 2026 · Updated Mar 30, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda CH22 Firmware 1.0.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute code via a crafted HTTP request. formCreateFileName passes the user-controlled fileNameMit value to a formatting operation without checking its length, overflowing a stack buffer in httpd. Low-privilege access to the router's web interface is required; exploitation can crash the httpd service or execute code on the device.
