Description

A weakness has been identified in Tenda AC10U 15.03.06.48/15.03.06.49. Affected by this vulnerability is the function fromadvsetlanip of the file /goform/AdvSetLanip of the component POST Request Parameter Handler. Executing a manipulation of the argument lanMask can lead to buffer overflow.…

The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

prevent

Requires validation of the lanMask POST parameter to directly prevent buffer overflow from malicious input manipulation.

prevent

Mandates timely identification, reporting, and patching of the specific buffer overflow flaw in the router firmware.

prevent

Implements memory protections like DEP and stack canaries to block code execution from buffer overflow exploits.

Security SummaryAI

CVE-2025-15218 is a buffer overflow vulnerability (CWE-119, CWE-120) in Tenda AC10U routers running firmware versions 15.03.06.48 and 15.03.06.49. The flaw affects the fromadvsetlanip function in the /goform/AdvSetLanip file, part of the POST Request Parameter Handler component. It is triggered by manipulating the lanMask argument in a POST request, leading to a buffer overflow. The vulnerability was published on 2025-12-30 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

The vulnerability enables remote exploitation by attackers with low privileges, such as authenticated users on the network. Low attack complexity and no user interaction are required, allowing exploitation over the network with unchanged scope. Successful attacks can result in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially enabling arbitrary code execution or full system compromise.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
Why these techniques?

Buffer overflow in router web management interface (/goform/AdvSetLanip) via authenticated POST request enables remote code execution, directly mapping to exploitation of public-facing application.
