## Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Tenda CX12L router firmware version 16.03.53.12. The flaw is located within the 'fromNatStaticSetting' function in the '/goform/NatStaticSetting' component. The root cause is the unsafe use of 'sprintf' when processing the user-controlled 'page' parameter, which is written into a fixed-size 256-byte buffer without length validation. A remote attacker can trigger this overflow by sending a specially crafted POST request with an oversized 'page' argument. Successful exploitation can lead to memory corruption, denial of service (DoS), or arbitrary code execution. A public proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit has been disclosed.
