Threat & Defense at a Glance
Threat & Defense Details
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
Requires timely remediation of the stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability through firmware patching for the affected Tenda AC18 /goform/SetUpnpCfg endpoint.
Mandates validation of the upnpEn argument to block malformed inputs that trigger the stack-based buffer overflow.
Deploys memory protections such as stack canaries and address space layout randomization to mitigate exploitation of the stack-based buffer overflow.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Stack-based buffer overflow in the unauthenticated web endpoint /goform/SetUpnpCfg of Tenda AC18 router enables remote code execution or denial of service on a public-facing network device.
NVD Description
A security vulnerability has been detected in Tenda AC18 15.03.05.19(6318). This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /goform/SetUpnpCfg. The manipulation of the argument upnpEn leads to stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit…
