By manipulating the argument radio_2g_1, an attacker can trigger a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-7597-critical-stack-based-buffer-overflow-vulnerability-in-tenda-ax1803-1-0-0-1\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"66936\">stack-based buffer overflow<\/a>. This type of overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-8168-critical-buffer-overflow-vulnerability-in-d-link-dir-513-1-10\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"67275\">buffer<\/a> located on the stack than what is actually allocated for that buffer. This overflow can overwrite other data on the stack, potentially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-54444-unrestricted-file-upload-leading-to-code-injection-in-samsung-electronics-magicinfo-9-server\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"67274\">leading to arbitrary code<\/a> execution, alteration of the program&#8217;s flow, or even a system crash.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-558213646\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Here is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability could be exploited. This example uses a simple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-8243-critical-buffer-overflow-vulnerability-in-totolink-x15-http-post-request-handler\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"66865\">HTTP POST request to the vulnerable<\/a> endpoint.<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">POST \/goform\/setWtpData HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/x-www-form-urlencoded\nradio_2g_1=AAAA...[LONG STRING]...<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this example, the `radio_2g_1` parameter is filled with a long string of &#8216;A&#8217;s. If the vulnerability is present, this could trigger a stack-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-8159-critical-remote-buffer-overflow-vulnerability-in-d-link-dir-513-1-0\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"67376\">buffer overflow<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommendation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Users are strongly recommended to apply the vendor&#8217;s patch to mitigate the vulnerability. As a temporary mitigation, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can help detect and prevent exploitation attempts. However, these measures do not eliminate the vulnerability, and patching should be carried out as soon as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview CVE-2025-7586 is a worrying vulnerability identified in Tenda AC500 2.0.1.9(1307).
