CVE-2026-10189: Stack-based Buffer Overflow in Tenda W12
CVE-2026-10189 is a high-severity stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the Tenda W12 router firmware version 3.0.0.7(4763). The flaw exists in the cgiSysTimeInfoSet function of the /bin/httpd component, where improper handling of the 'sec' argument can lead to memory corruption. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without user interaction. Although the exploit details have been publicly disclosed, there is no confirmed patch or official remediation available at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects Tenda W12 version 3.0.0.7(4763) and involves a stack-based buffer overflow triggered by manipulating the 'sec' argument in the cgiSysTimeInfoSet function within the /bin/httpd binary. The flaw allows remote attackers to cause memory corruption, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or denial of service. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.7, reflecting high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No official patch or remediation guidance has been published by the vendor as of the data provided.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution or denial of service on affected Tenda W12 devices, compromising device confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely without authentication or user interaction, increasing the risk of widespread impact. However, there is no current evidence of exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, affected users should consider disabling remote management features if possible or isolating the device from untrusted networks to reduce exposure.
