Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

A critical vulnerability has been discovered in Tenda O3V2 1.0.0.12(3880), referred to in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures system as CVE-2025-7421. This vulnerability lies within the fromMacFilterModify function of the \/goform\/operateMacFilter file, specifically in the component httpd. The result of this vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow<\/a> that can be exploited remotely. This presents a significant risk to any system running Tenda<\/a> O3V2 1.0.0.12(3880) due to the potential for system compromise or data leakage.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-7421
\nSeverity: Critical (CVSS 8.8)
\nAttack Vector: Remote
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: System compromise<\/a>, potential data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Tenda O3V2<\/a> | 1.0.0.12(3880)<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability stems from improper handling of the ‘mac<\/a>‘ argument in the fromMacFilterModify function. This improper handling leads to a stack-based buffer overflow<\/a>. The attacker, by sending a specially crafted request with a manipulated ‘mac’ argument, can trigger the overflow, which then allows them to execute arbitrary code<\/a> within the context of the application.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This could be a sample HTTP request<\/a>:<\/p>\n

POST \/goform\/operateMacFilter HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/x-www-form-urlencoded\nmac=01:23:45:67:89:ab;payload_that_triggers_buffer_overflow<\/code><\/pre>\n
Mitigation Recommendations<\/strong><\/p>\n
The vendor has provided a patch to fix this vulnerability. It is highly recommended to apply this patch as soon as possible. Until the patch can be applied, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide some level of temporary mitigation. However, these measures will not fully protect against the exploit and should only be used as a short-term solution while patching is underway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
