CVE-2026-11522: Stack-based Buffer Overflow in Tenda W20E
A vulnerability was detected in Tenda W20E 15.11.0.6. This vulnerability affects the function formSetPortMirror of the file /goform/setPortMirror. Performing a manipulation of the argument portMirrorMirroredPorts results in stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in Tenda W20E 15.11.0.6 involves a stack-based buffer overflow in the formSetPortMirror function of the /goform/setPortMirror file. Specifically, improper handling of the portMirrorMirroredPorts argument allows an attacker to overflow the stack buffer remotely. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.7, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. The vulnerability state is published, but no remediation level or patch information is available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service on the affected Tenda W20E device. Given the stack-based buffer overflow nature, it may lead to system compromise or disruption of network services provided by the router. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and can be triggered remotely, increasing its risk profile. However, there are no confirmed reports of active 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, users should consider restricting network access to the management interface of the Tenda W20E device to trusted sources only and monitor for unusual activity. Avoid exposing the device management interface directly to untrusted networks. Follow up with Tenda for updates on patches or official mitigations.
