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).

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 2026-10-25.

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 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.

What to do

AI-suggested

1. Immediately restrict access to the Tenda AX-1806 router management interfaces by implementing network segmentation and firewall rules that limit access to trusted IP addresses only. 2. Disable remote management features if not required, or restrict them to secure VPN connections to prevent unauthorized external access. 3. Monitor network traffic for unusual or malformed requests targeting the 'mac' parameter or other router management endpoints, using intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS). 4. Maintain an inventory of all Tenda AX-1806 devices within the organization to identify and prioritize vulnerable units. 5. Engage with the vendor for updates on patches or firmware upgrades addressing this vulnerability and plan timely deployment once available. 6. Consider temporary replacement or isolation of vulnerable devices in critical network segments until patches are applied. 7. Educate network administrators about the vulnerability and recommended operational security practices to reduce exposure. 8. Implement network-level rate limiting or anomaly detection to mitigate potential DoS attempts exploiting this vulnerability.

Description

Tenda AX-1806 v1.0.0.1 was discovered to contain a stack overflow in the mac parameter of the sub_65B5C function. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted request.

Impact

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2025-70656 could result in denial of service conditions affecting network availability. This may disrupt business operations, especially for enterprises and service providers relying on Tenda AX-1806 routers for internet connectivity or internal network routing. Critical infrastructure sectors such as telecommunications, finance, healthcare, and government services could experience outages or degraded service quality. The impact is primarily on availability, with no direct compromise of data confidentiality or integrity. However, prolonged or repeated DoS attacks could indirectly affect operational continuity and incident response capabilities. The vulnerability's remote and unauthenticated nature increases the risk of widespread exploitation, particularly if attackers scan for vulnerable devices exposed to the internet or accessible within corporate networks. European organizations with limited network segmentation or exposed management interfaces are especially vulnerable. Additionally, the lack of available patches means that affected entities must rely on compensating controls until vendor updates are released.

CWE-121Stack-based Buffer Overflow (opens in a new tab)
Variant weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #14
A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
Operation · Build and Compilation · Environment Hardening
Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index…
