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.
CWE-787 The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the Tenda AC8 router firmware up to version 16.03.50.11. It affects the function doSystemCmd within the /goform/SysToolChangePwd HTTP endpoint component. The issue is caused by improper handling of the argument local_2c, which leads to a stack-based buffer overflow. This flaw can be exploited remotely, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without any authentication, making it highly dangerous. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected device, potentially taking full control of the router. This could lead to network compromise, interception or manipulation of network traffic, disruption of internet connectivity, or use of the device as part of a botnet.
