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 W15E v15.11.0.10 was discovered to contain a buffer overflow in the gotoUrl parameter of the formPortalAuth function. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted HTTP request.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Buffer overflow vulnerability in Tenda W15E v15.11.0.10 router firmware allows attackers to cause Denial of Service via a crafted HTTP request containing an overly long gotoUrl parameter to the formPortalAuth function.

MitigationApply vendor firmware patch when available; until then, restrict administrative interface access to trusted networks or disable portal auth features if not required.

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. Confirm device model is Tenda W15E
    Access the router web interface or check the device label/marketing to verify the model number is W15E
    Affected if Device is not a Tenda W15E router
  2. Identify the installed firmware version
    Log into the router admin panel and navigate to System Status or Firmware Upgrade page to view the current firmware version. Alternatively, check via CLI if telnet/ssh is enabled.
    Affected if Firmware version is NOT v15.11.0.10
  3. Verify the web management interface is active
    Attempt to access the router login page over HTTP (port 80) or HTTPS (port 443) from the network. The formPortalAuth function is part of the portal authentication module.
    Affected if Web interface is not accessible or the router has no HTTP service running
  4. Determine if remote management is exposed
    Check the router security settings to see if the web interface is bound to WAN (remote) interfaces or only to LAN. Look for 'Remote Management' or 'Web Management' access restrictions.
    Affected if Web interface is strictly limited to LAN-side access only and not exposed to WAN

You are affected if you have a Tenda W15E router running firmware v15.11.0.10 with the web management interface (portal authentication) accessible either locally or remotely.
