Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates network attack vector with low complexity and no privileges required—strong indicators of real-world exploitability. However, the confidentiality impact (C:H) in the CVSS vector conflicts with the DoS-only description provided, suggesting either a documentation error or that the vulnerability has secondary info disclosure properties not explicitly described. The denial of service impact (A:N per description vs. the CVSS implications) is the primary confirmed threat. Without publicly disclosed POC code or KEV catalog inclusion, the EPSS score is likely moderate (0.4-0.6 range for unpatched consumer IoT devices). The real risk is moderate-to-high for organizations with Tenda AC6 deployments in critical network roles, but lower for isolated consumer use since rebooting a router is a minor inconvenience. This is not a remote code execution vulnerability and does not enable lateral movement; it is primarily a nuisance attack vector against consumer router availability.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker on the same network segment (or with internet access if WAN management is enabled) crafts an HTTP GET request to http://[router-ip]/goform/openSchedWifi?schedStartTime=[1000-byte-payload]&schedEndTime=[1000-byte-payload]. The router's firmware parses these parameters without length validation, overflowing a fixed-size buffer in the schedule processing function. This causes the HTTP daemon to crash or restart, temporarily disabling the router's web interface and potentially affecting Wi-Fi connectivity. A simple script can automate this to repeatedly crash the router every 30 seconds, creating a denial of service condition. No authentication or user interaction is required. An attacker could script this to target multiple Tenda AC6 routers on a network segment to cause widespread outages. This is a low-skill attack with no prerequisites beyond network access.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 14, 2026

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Tenda AC6 router firmware version 15.03.05.16 that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger a denial of service condition by sending oversized parameters (schedStartTime and schedEndTime) to the /goform/openSchedWifi endpoint. The vulnerability is network-accessible without authentication or user interaction, making it trivially exploitable for DoS attacks against affected routers. While the CVSS score indicates high severity (7.5), the actual impact appears limited to availability (DoS only), with no confirmed code execution or data disclosure capability.

RemediationAI

patch: Apply latest firmware patch when available from Tenda workaround: Disable WAN-accessible HTTP administration; configure access control lists (ACLs) to restrict /goform/* endpoints to internal network only mitigation: Implement WAF or IPS rule matching: User-Agent or POST/GET to /goform/openSchedWifi with Content-Length > threshold monitoring: Enable router logging and alert on 4xx/5xx errors to /goform/* paths

Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability is a classic CWE-120 (Buffer Over-read) occurring in the HTTP request handling layer of Tenda AC6's web-based management interface. The /goform/openSchedWifi endpoint processes schedule-related parameters without proper input validation or bounds checking on the schedStartTime and schedEndTime fields. Tenda AC6 (CPE: cpe:2.3:h:tenda:ac6:-:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a consumer Wi-Fi router running proprietary firmware with an embedded HTTP server that parses these parameters directly into fixed-size stack or heap buffers. The firmware version 15.03.05.16 fails to implement adequate length validation before copying user-supplied data, allowing attackers to overflow adjacent memory structures. The endpoint is accessible over HTTP without CSRF tokens or session authentication, exposing the vulnerability to any network-adjacent attacker.

DescriptionCVE.org

Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Tenda AC6 v.15.03.05.16 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the oversized schedStartTime and schedEndTime parameters in an unauthenticated HTTP GET request to the /goform/openSchedWifi endpoint

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Tenda AC6 routers (v15.03.05.16) are vulnerable to unauthenticated denial-of-service attacks that can disrupt network connectivity for affected organizations. Any organization using this router model is at immediate risk, as attackers can remotely disable the device without authentication or credentials, impacting business continuity and remote worker access.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Implement WAF/IDS rules to block HTTP GET requests to /goform/openSchedWifi endpoint with oversized parameters; disable the WiFi scheduling feature if not operationally required; segment affected routers behind authenticated proxy or firewall; restrict administrative access to router management interfaces to internal networks only; monitor for exploitation attempts via access logs.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
