## Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the hostapd configuration handler within the custom-x/softap component of Tenda CP3 firmware version 27.5.57.101. The wpa_passphrase argument is not properly validated, permitting manipulation that leads to hard-coded credentials being used for wireless authentication. The attack is network-reachable and requires no prior authentication. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to gain unauthorized wireless network access using predictable credentials. A patch or firmware update from Tenda is recommended.
