Unauthenticated denial of service via unchecked Username copy
Published Sep 3, 2026 · Updated Sep 3, 2026
Buffer overflow in Tenda HG10 300001138 allows remote attackers to leave the device unresponsive through an overlong login Username value. The Boa formLogin handler obtains username with boaGetVar and passes it to strcpy for a fixed-size global buffer without checking its capacity. An unauthenticated POST to /boaform/formLogin is sufficient; published verification left the router unresponsive, while code execution remains unproven.
