Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
๐จ **Essence**: A stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda A15 WiFi Extender. ๐ **Consequences**: Attackers can execute arbitrary code, leading to total device compromise, data theft, or denial of service.โฆ
๐ก๏ธ **Root Cause**: **CWE-121** (Stack-based Buffer Overflow). The flaw lies in the `UploadCfg` function within `/cgi-bin/UploadCfg`. Improper handling of the `File` parameter allows buffer overflow. ๐
Q3Who is affected? (Versions/Components)
๐ฆ **Affected**: **Tenda A15** WiFi Extender. Specifically version **15.13.07.13**. If you are running this exact firmware, you are in the danger zone! โ ๏ธ
Q4What can hackers do? (Privileges/Data)
๐ **Impact**: High! CVSS Score is **Critical (9.8)**. Hackers gain **Full Control** (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability all High). They can escalate privileges and access sensitive network data. ๐
Q5Is exploitation threshold high? (Auth/Config)
๐ **Threshold**: **Low**. CVSS vector shows `AV:N` (Network), `AC:L` (Low Complexity), `PR:N` (No Privileges Required), `UI:N` (No User Interaction). Remote, unauthenticated attackers can exploit this easily! ๐ฏ
Q6Is there a public Exp? (PoC/Wild Exploitation)
๐งช **Exploit Status**: No public PoC/Exploit listed in the data (`pocs: []`). However, technical descriptions exist in VDB.โฆ
๐ **Self-Check**: Scan for Tenda A15 devices running firmware **15.13.07.13**. Check if the `/cgi-bin/UploadCfg` endpoint is accessible. Use network scanners to detect vulnerable IoT devices on your LAN. ๐ก
Q8Is it fixed officially? (Patch/Mitigation)
๐ฉน **Fix Status**: The data does not explicitly confirm a patched version is released. The vendor is **Tenda**. You must check the official Tenda support site for a firmware update > 15.13.07.13. ๐
Q9What if no patch? (Workaround)
๐ง **Workaround**: If no patch exists, **disable remote management** if possible. Isolate the device on a separate VLAN. Restrict access to the `/cgi-bin/UploadCfg` endpoint via firewall rules.โฆ
๐ฅ **Urgency**: **CRITICAL**. With CVSS 9.8 and no auth required, this is a top-priority vulnerability. Patch immediately or isolate the device. Do not ignore this! ๐จ
