CVE-2026-5609: Stack-based Buffer Overflow in Tenda i12
CVE-2026-5609 is a high-severity stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Tenda i12 version 1. 0. 0. 11(3862). The flaw exists in the formwrlSSIDset function within the /goform/wifiSSIDset component's Parameter Handler. This vulnerability can be triggered remotely by manipulating the index/wl_radio argument, potentially leading to memory corruption. An exploit has been published, but there are no confirmed reports of exploitation in the wild. No official patch or remediation guidance has been provided by the vendor as of the publication date.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects Tenda i12 firmware version 1.0.0.11(3862) and involves a stack-based buffer overflow in the formwrlSSIDset function of the /goform/wifiSSIDset component. The issue arises from improper handling of the index/wl_radio argument, which allows remote attackers to overflow a buffer on the stack. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. Exploit code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation. However, no official patch or vendor advisory detailing remediation is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow remote attackers to cause a stack-based buffer overflow, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or denial of service on affected devices. Given the remote attack vector and low complexity, this poses a significant risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the device. The presence of published exploit code increases the likelihood of attempted attacks, although no active exploitation has been confirmed.
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 limiting network exposure of the affected device and monitor for unusual activity. No vendor-provided mitigation or workaround information is currently available.
