Impact
A stack‑based buffer overflow exists in the POST request handler for /goform/fast_setting_internet_set on Tenda AC9 routers. Manipulating the argument netWanType can corrupt the stack, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privilege context of the router’s firmware. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely and the exploit code is publicly available, meaning a determined adversary could compromise the device without any local access.
Affected Systems
Tenda AC9 routers running firmware version 15.03.02.13 are affected. The vulnerable functionality is exposed through the web interface endpoint /goform/fast_setting_internet_set, which is used to set internet connection parameters.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 9.4 classifies this flaw as critical. EPSS is not available, so the exact current exploitation probability cannot be quantified, but the public availability of an exploit increases the risk. The vulnerability is not listed in KEV, yet its remote nature and severe impact warrant immediate attention. Attackers are likely to target the exposed POST endpoint over the Internet, sending a crafted netWanType value to trigger the overflow.
