Stack-based Buffer Overflow in Tenda AC18 /goform/GetParentControlInfo
CVE-2025-14992 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the Tenda AC18 router, firmware version 15.03.05.05. The vulnerability exists in the strcpy function within the /goform/GetParentControlInfo HTTP request handler. Improper handling of the 'mac' argument allows an attacker to send a specially crafted HTTP request that triggers a buffer overflow on the stack, potentially leading to memory corruption and device compromise. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and does not require authentication under some configurations. Public proof-of-concept exploits are available.
