CWE

KEV

CWE ID	Description
CWE-121	A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
CWE-119	The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

CVE-2025-14878 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the Tenda WH450 router firmware version 1.0.0.18. It occurs in the HTTP request handler at the /goform/wirelessRestart endpoint when an attacker sends a specially crafted HTTP request with an excessively long 'GO' parameter. This overflow can allow remote, unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service on the device. [1, 2]

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can severely impact you by allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on your Tenda WH450 router or cause it to crash (denial of service). This compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the device, potentially allowing attackers to take full control of the router without any authentication. [1, 2]

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by monitoring HTTP requests to the /goform/wirelessRestart endpoint on the Tenda WH450 router, specifically looking for unusually long or malformed 'GO' parameter values that could trigger the stack-based buffer overflow. Since the exploit involves sending specially crafted HTTP requests, network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) can be configured to alert on such suspicious requests. However, no specific detection commands are provided in the available resources. [1, 2]

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include replacing the affected Tenda WH450 router with an alternative device, as no known mitigations or countermeasures currently exist for this vulnerability. Additionally, restricting remote access to the router's HTTP interface and monitoring for suspicious activity may help reduce risk until replacement is possible. [2]
