AI-suggested
Organizations should immediately identify and inventory Tenda AC23 devices within their networks and verify firmware versions. Since no official patches or updates are currently linked, mitigation should focus on reducing exposure: disable remote management interfaces accessible from untrusted networks; restrict access to the /goform/SetPptpServerCfg endpoint via firewall rules or router access control lists; implement network segmentation to isolate vulnerable devices from critical assets; monitor network traffic for unusual POST requests targeting the vulnerable endpoint; and consider replacing affected devices with models from vendors with timely security support. Additionally, organizations should apply strict network perimeter controls and deploy intrusion detection/prevention systems configured to detect exploitation attempts targeting this vulnerability. Regularly check for vendor firmware updates and apply them promptly once available.
Description
A vulnerability has been found in Tenda AC23 up to 16.03.07.52. Affected by this vulnerability is the function sscanf of the file /goform/SetPptpServerCfg of the component HTTP POST Request Handler. Such manipulation of the argument startIp leads to buffer overflow. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
