Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the 'fromAddressNat' function within the '/goform/addressNat' endpoint of Tenda JD12L Pro firmware version 16.03.53.23. The root cause is the unsafe use of the 'sprintf' function when processing the user-controlled 'page' parameter, which writes data into a fixed-size 256-byte buffer without length validation. A remote attacker can trigger this overflow by sending a POST request with an oversized 'page' argument. Successful exploitation can lead to memory corruption, overwriting the return address on the stack to achieve arbitrary code execution or a denial of service (DoS). While some reports suggest low privileges are required, a public PoC indicates the endpoint may be reachable without authentication.
