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 is a stack-based buffer overflow in the Tenda WH450 device, specifically in an unknown part of the /goform/SafeMacFilter file. It occurs due to manipulation of the 'page' argument, allowing an attacker to overflow the stack buffer. The attack can be performed remotely, and an exploit has already been publicly released.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability can lead to severe impacts including complete compromise of the affected device. Because it is a stack-based buffer overflow exploitable remotely, an attacker could execute arbitrary code, potentially gaining control over the device, leading to confidentiality, integrity, and availability breaches.
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
Detection can be performed by monitoring HTTP requests to the endpoint /goform/SafeMacFilter for unusually long or malformed 'page' parameter values that may indicate exploitation attempts. Network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) can be configured to alert on such suspicious requests. Additionally, reviewing logs for repeated or abnormal access to /goform/SafeMacFilter may help identify exploitation attempts. Specific commands depend on your environment, but for example, using tcpdump or Wireshark to capture HTTP traffic and grep to filter requests: tcpdump -A -s 0 'tcp port 80' | grep '/goform/SafeMacFilter' or using web server logs: grep '/goform/SafeMacFilter' /var/log/httpd/access_log | grep -E 'page=.*{very long string}' [2, 3]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include restricting access to the affected device, especially limiting remote access to trusted networks or IP addresses. Since no patches or countermeasures are currently available, it is recommended to replace the affected Tenda WH450 device with a secure alternative. Monitoring for exploitation attempts and applying network-level protections such as firewall rules to block suspicious requests targeting /goform/SafeMacFilter can also help reduce risk. [2]
