CVE-2026-7097: Buffer Overflow in Tenda F456
CVE-2026-7097 is a high-severity buffer overflow vulnerability in the Tenda F456 router firmware version 1. 0. 0. 5. The flaw exists in the httpd component, specifically in the fromwebExcptypemanFilter function, where manipulation of the 'page' argument can cause a buffer overflow. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without user interaction and requires low privileges. Although an exploit is publicly available, there are no confirmed reports of exploitation in the wild. No official patch or remediation guidance has been provided by the vendor as of the publication date.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects Tenda F456 version 1.0.0.5 and involves a buffer overflow in the fromwebExcptypemanFilter function within the /goform/webExcptypemanFilter endpoint of the httpd component. An attacker can remotely manipulate the 'page' argument to trigger the overflow. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.7, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability is publicly disclosed with an available exploit, but no vendor patch or official remediation level has been documented.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this buffer overflow could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service on the affected device. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the Tenda F456 router. Given the high CVSS score and remote attack vector, this poses a significant risk to affected systems if exploited.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider limiting network exposure of the affected device, such as restricting remote management access. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
