Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Shenzhen Tenda Technology Co., Ltd Tenda G0 v15.11.0.5 was discovered to contain multiple stack overflows in the formSetDebugCfgr function via the enable, level, and module parameters. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted HTTP request.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Tenda G0 router firmware v15.11.0.5 where the formSetDebugCfgr function fails to validate input length for the enable, level, and module HTTP parameters, allowing crafted requests to overflow the stack and cause denial of service.

MitigationUpdate to a patched firmware version if available; otherwise, implement input length validation in the formSetDebugCfgr function or deploy a WAF/IPS to filter malicious requests targeting the vulnerable endpoint.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Tenda G0 firmware version
    Access the router web interface and navigate to System Settings or Status page to view the firmware version, or use telnet/SSH to connect and run 'version' or 'cat /proc/version' if available
    Affected if The firmware version is v15.11.0.5 exactly or falls within an unpatched version range prior to the fix
  2. Confirm web management interface is accessible
    Attempt to reach the router IP via HTTP (port 80) or HTTPS (port 443) from a client on the network
    Affected if The router web interface responds to HTTP/HTTPS requests, indicating the management interface is enabled and network-accessible
  3. Identify if formSetDebugCfgr endpoint is exposed
    Send a crafted HTTP POST request to the router with the path or parameter associated with formSetDebugCfgr, typically found in the web interface forms or by inspecting firmware binary for this function name
    Affected if The router accepts requests to the formSetDebugCfgr function and processes the enable, level, or module parameters
  4. Check if debug or configuration features are enabled
    Inspect the router web interface for debug, logging, or configuration settings that may expose the vulnerable parameters, or examine HTTP responses when interacting with the router
    Affected if Debug configuration features are accessible or the enable/level/module parameters can be set via HTTP requests without authentication safeguards
  5. Verify the device is processing user input without bounds checking
    Send a test HTTP POST request with abnormally long strings in the enable, level, or module parameters and observe for unexpected behavior, crashes, or service interruption
    Affected if Long input in these parameters causes denial of service, crash, or abnormal router behavior indicating a stack overflow condition

The environment is affected if the Tenda G0 router runs firmware v15.11.0.5 (or an unpatched version) and has the web management interface accessible with the formSetDebugCfgr function and its enable/level/module parameters exposed to user input.
