| Impact | All quantitative signals point to high severity but with important caveats on real-world reach. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, score 9.8) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw with full CIA impact. A public exploit is referenced (johnathanhuutri/CVEReport on GitHub), raising the practical likelihood of opportunistic use. However, the vulnerability is NOT listed in CISA KEV and no EPSS score was supplied, so there is no evidence of confirmed active exploitation - this is POC availability, not in-the-wild exploitation, and the two must not be conflated. The description itself tempers the CVSS impact: it states denial of service is achievable and code execution is only 'possibly' achievable (classic CWE-120 stack/buffer overflow where reliable RCE often depends on memory layout and mitigations), so the C:H/I:H part of the 9.8 is partly aspirational for this specific bug. Most significant qualifier: the affected component is the web administration daemon (bin/httpd) of a consumer SOHO router, which on default Tenda configurations is typically bound to the LAN interface - true unauthenticated exploitation from the internet generally requires the remote-management/WAN admin interface to be enabled, otherwise the attacker must already be LAN-adjacent. Net assessment: a genuine high-severity, easily triggered flaw worth patching promptly for exposed devices, but the 9.8 overstates mass-internet risk because real exploitation is gated by network exposure of the admin interface and reliable RCE is unconfirmed. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 13, 2026
Unauthenticated remote attackers can trigger a buffer overflow in the Tenda AC10 v4.0 router's HTTP daemon (bin/httpd) by sending a crafted POST request to /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan, leading to denial of service and potentially remote code execution. The flaw (CVE-2025-67073, CVSS 9.8, CWE-120) affects firmware V16.03.10.20, and publicly available exploit code exists; however, real-world exploitation requires network reachability to the router's administrative interface, which by default is restricted to the LAN unless WAN remote management is enabled. The confirmed impact is denial of service, while code execution remains conditional on memory layout and exploitability.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch is identified in the available intelligence at time of analysis. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the router's web administration interface: disable WAN remote management and ensure the admin UI is only reachable from the trusted LAN. If remote management is required, limit source IPs via firewall rules and use a VPN. Consider blocking external access to the HTTP/HTTPS ports used by the router's admin service. As a compensating control, network segmentation can prevent attackers from reaching the vulnerable endpoint. Note that blocking access may limit legitimate remote administration. Since public exploit code exists, monitor for unusual POST requests to /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan. If the device cannot be secured, consider replacing it with a supported product. Check Tenda's support page for firmware updates periodically. The trade-off of disabling remote management is loss of remote administrative access; an alternative is to use a VPN for remote access.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Tenda AC10 is a consumer wireless router; its bin/httpd binary is the embedded web server that handles the administrative UI and goform API endpoints. The vulnerability lies in the fromAdvSetMacMtuWan function, which processes the serviceName parameter from the /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan endpoint. CWE-120 indicates a classic buffer copy without size checking: the function copies user-supplied data into a fixed-length buffer without validating length, allowing an overlong serviceName value to overwrite adjacent memory. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms it is remotely exploitable without authentication or user interaction. The CPE identifies the exact affected build: cpe:2.3:o:tenda:ac10_firmware:16.03.10.20:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. Public exploit code is available, and the primary outcome is a crash (DoS); code execution is possible if the overflow can be leveraged to control the instruction pointer, but that is not guaranteed and depends on the absence of memory protections and the specific firmware build.

DescriptionCVE.org
A Buffer overflow vulnerability in function fromAdvSetMacMtuWan of bin httpd in Tenda AC10V4.0 V16.03.10.20 allows remote attackers to cause denial of service and possibly code execution by sending a post request with a crafted payload (field serviceName) to /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan.
Executive ViewAI
A critical buffer overflow vulnerability in the Tenda AC10 v4.0 router's HTTP daemon (firmware V16.03.10.20) can be triggered remotely and has no vendor-released patch, while publicly available exploit code exists. These devices are typically deployed as consumer and small-office internet gateways, so any organization using them for branch, retail, home-office, or remote-worker connectivity should treat the affected unit as an untrusted network edge. Leadership should care because the confirmed impact is denial of service with possible code execution, and an unpatched, internet-boundary device that cannot be remediated through a vendor fix must be contained or replaced rather than simply monitored.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: disable WAN remote management and all port-forwarding to the router's HTTP management interface so that reachability is limited to the local network only; place the device behind a firewall or VPN with management access restricted to specific trusted source addresses; isolate affected units on a dedicated network segment with deny-by-default lateral access; restrict administrative access to the LAN interface and monitor for POST requests to /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan; replace the device with supported hardware where the exposure cannot be accepted.

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.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
