CVE-2026-7079: Buffer Overflow in Tenda F456
CVE-2026-7079 is a high-severity buffer overflow vulnerability in Tenda F456 version 1. 0. 0. 5. It exists in the httpd component's /goform/AdvSetWan function, specifically when processing the wanmode argument. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without user interaction or privileges. Although an exploit is publicly available, there is no confirmed patch or official remediation at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a buffer overflow triggered by manipulation of the wanmode argument in the fromAdvSetWan function of the /goform/AdvSetWan endpoint in Tenda F456 firmware version 1.0.0.5. The flaw resides in the httpd component, allowing remote attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.7, reflecting high impact and ease of exploitation without privileges or user interaction. No official patch or vendor advisory has been published yet.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution or denial of service on affected Tenda F456 devices running version 1.0.0.5. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication or user interaction, increasing the risk to exposed devices. Public exploit code availability raises the likelihood of attacks, although no in-the-wild exploitation has been confirmed.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, affected users should consider restricting network access to the vulnerable device's management interface to trusted sources only and monitor for unusual activity. Avoid exposing the device's management interface to untrusted networks.
