Exploitability
| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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). |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability exists in the Tenda WH450 device, specifically in the /goform/SafeEmailFilter file. It involves a stack-based buffer overflow caused by manipulating the 'page' argument. This flaw can be exploited remotely, and an exploit is publicly available.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to a stack-based buffer overflow, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code remotely. This can result in full compromise of the affected device, including unauthorized access, data theft, or disruption of service.
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by monitoring HTTP requests to the /goform/SafeEmailFilter endpoint for unusually long or malformed 'page' parameter values that could indicate an attempted exploit. Since the exploit involves sending specially crafted requests with excessively long data in the 'page' parameter, network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) or web application firewalls (WAF) can be configured to alert on such patterns. Specific commands are not provided in the resources, but inspecting HTTP logs or using tools like curl or wget to test the endpoint with long 'page' parameter values may help detect vulnerability. For example, a command to test could be: curl -v "http://<router-ip>/goform/SafeEmailFilter?page=$(python3 -c 'print("A"*1000)')" to see if the device responds abnormally. [1, 2]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include replacing the affected Tenda WH450 device with an alternative product, as no known countermeasures or patches are available. Additionally, restricting remote access to the device, disabling unnecessary services, and monitoring for exploit attempts can help reduce risk. Since exploitation requires authentication, ensuring strong credentials and limiting administrative access over the network is recommended. [1]
