Remote code execution via unbounded wanMTU copy
Published Jun 19, 2026 · Updated Jun 19, 2026
Stack buffer overflow in the Tenda AC7 15.03.06.44 web interface allows remote attackers to execute code via a crafted wanMTU value. The check_param_changed function copies the user-controlled parameter into a stack buffer with strcpy without validating or limiting its length. The published proof of concept includes a password cookie, although CISA scores the attack as requiring no privileges; successful exploitation can crash the router or execute code.
