Post-Authentication Heap Overflow in Tenda AC23 Router

CVE-2023-40802

What is CVE-2023-40802?

The Tenda AC23 router is susceptible to a post-authentication heap overflow vulnerability in the get_parentControl_list_Info function. This flaw arises due to the lack of parameter verification for user inputs, potentially allowing attackers to exploit this oversight. Exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution or crash the device, thus jeopardizing the security of the router and the network it supports. It is crucial for users to apply necessary patches and updates to mitigate this risk.
