Impact
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the Boa Web Server component of Tenda HG7, HG9, and HG10 routers. Malicious manipulation of the Ethtype argument in the boaGetVar function of /boaform/formLoopBack overwrites critical stack memory, enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the device. The flaw allows a remote attacker to compromise the router’s confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Affected Systems
The affected hardware includes Tenda’s HG7, HG9, and HG10 router models. Firmware 300001138_en_xpon is vulnerable. No specific firmware version ranges are disclosed; the issue appears in the current releases referenced in the advisory.
Risk and Exploitability
The flaw carries a maximum CVSS score of 10, indicating critical severity. No EPSS data is currently available, though the public disclosure suggests that attackers may already have a working exploit. The vulnerability is not yet included in CISA’s KEV catalog, but remote exploitation is feasible via the web interface, allowing an attacker to achieve remote code execution with no authentication requirement.
