Technical details

A vulnerability exists in the 'fromSetWirelessRepeat' function within the '/goform/WifiExtraSet' (or '/goform/fromSetWirelessRepeat') endpoint of the Tenda AC6 and AC10U httpd component. The issue stems from improper neutralization of special elements in the 'mac', 'ssid', or 'wpapsk_crypto' parameters, leading to OS command injection and a stack-based buffer overflow via 'strcpy' without length validation. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the device. Successful exploitation allows for arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the web server. While some sources suggest high privileges are required, others indicate the endpoint may be reachable without authentication; a public PoC has been released.
