Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 22 Oct 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Immediately restrict remote management access to Tenda AC6 routers by disabling WAN-side administration or limiting it to trusted IP addresses.
Implement network segmentation to isolate vulnerable routers from critical systems and sensitive data.
Monitor network traffic for unusual or malformed packets targeting the limitSpeed, deviceId, and limitSpeedUp parameters to detect potential exploitation attempts.
Employ intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures or heuristics to identify buffer overflow attack patterns against Tenda routers.
Regularly check for firmware updates from Tenda and apply patches promptly once available.
Consider replacing vulnerable devices with models from vendors with stronger security track records if patches are delayed.
Educate network administrators about the vulnerability and ensure secure configuration practices are followed to minimize exposure.

Description

Multiple buffer overflows in the SetClientState function of Tenda AC6 v.15.03.06.50 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via injecting a crafted payload into the limitSpeed, deviceId, and limitSpeedUp parameters.

Impact

For European organizations, the primary impact is the potential disruption of network services due to router crashes caused by the buffer overflow. This can lead to downtime affecting business operations, especially for organizations relying on Tenda AC6 routers for critical connectivity. While confidentiality and integrity are not directly impacted, the loss of availability can hinder communication, remote work, and access to cloud services. Sectors such as small and medium enterprises, educational institutions, and home office environments that commonly deploy consumer-grade routers like Tenda AC6 are particularly vulnerable. Additionally, any critical infrastructure or service providers using these devices could face operational interruptions. The lack of authentication requirement and ease of exploitation increase the risk of automated attacks targeting exposed routers, potentially leading to widespread denial of service incidents.

CWE-120Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #11
The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer.
Requirements · Language Selection
Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
