CVE-2026-24110
2026-03-02
An issue was discovered in Tenda W20E V4.0br_V15.11.0.6. Attackers may send overly long `addDhcpRules` data. When these rules enter the `addDhcpRule` function and are processed by `ret = sscanf(pRule, " %d\t%[^\t]\t%[^\n\r\t]", &dhcpsIndex, dhcpsIP, dhcpsMac);`, the lack of size validation for the rules could lead to buffer overflows in `dhcpsIndex`, `dhcpsIP`, and `dhcpsMac`.
CVE-2026-24101
2026-03-02
An issue was discovered in goform/formSetIptv in Tenda AC15V1.0 V15.03.05.18_multi. When the condition is met, `s1_1` will be passed into sub_B0488, concatenated into `doSystemCmd`. The value of s1_1 is not validated, potentially leading to a command injection vulnerability.
