Authenticated code execution via unchecked sprintf
Published May 25, 2026 · Updated May 25, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda F1202 1.2.0.20(408) allows remote authenticated users to execute code via a crafted PPTP request. The fromPptpUserAdd handler passes a user-controlled username to sprintf without a length check when opttype is 1, overflowing stack buffer s__3. Low-privilege access to the network management interface is required; a crafted POST can crash the HTTP service or execute code in its process.
