Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to reach the router's HTTP management service (bin/httpd) and POST to /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan with an overlong 'serverName' field; the vulnerable code path is the WAN MAC/MTU advanced-setting handler fromAdvSetMacMtuWan. Per CVSS PR:N, no authentication is required. The primary LIMITING factor is AV:A (Adjacent): the attacker must be on the same local network segment (e.g., connected to the LAN or Wi-Fi), so this is not exploitable from the public internet unless the management interface is deliberately exposed to the WAN side. It is further limited to the specific affected build Tenda AC10 (AC10V4.0) firmware V16.03.10.20; confirmed impact is a crash/DoS of the httpd service rather than verified code execution.

Impact

This is a moderate, not top-tier, priority. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, base 6.5) tells the real story better than the 'RCE' tag: the only confirmed impact is availability (A:H) - i.e. a denial of service by crashing the bin/httpd process - and the attack vector is Adjacent (AV:A), meaning the attacker must already be on the same local/Wi-Fi/LAN segment, not the open internet. The description's 'possibly code execution' is speculative and is NOT reflected in the confidentiality/integrity metrics (both N), so treating this as reliable remote code execution would overstate it - CONFLICT: the 'RCE' tag and 'possibly code execution' wording versus C:N/I:N in the CVSS vector; verify any code-execution claim before prioritizing as RCE. Supporting signals are weak-to-moderate: a public PoC exists (raising practical exploitability for anyone with LAN access), but EPSS is only 0.38% (30th percentile), indicating low modeled probability of widespread exploitation, and the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, so there is no evidence of active exploitation. No SSVC decision data was supplied. Net: a credible LAN-local DoS against a specific consumer router firmware with public exploit code, but low real-world urgency for most defenders given the adjacent-only vector and absence of confirmed exploitation or confirmed code execution.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has already joined the target's local network - for example via the router's Wi-Fi or a wired LAN port - sends a single crafted HTTP POST to /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan with an oversized 'serverName' field, overflowing a stack buffer in the fromAdvSetMacMtuWan handler of bin/httpd. This crashes the web/management service (denial of service) and, per the report, could potentially lead to code execution, though only the DoS impact is confirmed by the CVSS metrics. A public proof-of-concept is available, lowering the skill required to reproduce the crash.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 13, 2026

A stack-based buffer overflow in the httpd binary of Tenda AC10 V4.0 firmware 16.03.10.20 allows adjacent network attackers to crash the device's web management service and potentially achieve code execution by sending a crafted POST request to /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan with an overlong serverName field. No authentication is required (CVSS PR:N), but exploitation is constrained to the same local network segment (AV:A) and to the specific vulnerable build. Publicly available exploit code exists; the confirmed impact is denial of service (crash of httpd), while code execution has not been verified, and EPSS is low at 0.38% (30th percentile).

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data; check Tenda's support site and the CVE reference for firmware updates, as this specific build (16.03.10.20) is confirmed vulnerable. Until a patched firmware is available, the most effective compensating control is to prevent untrusted hosts from reaching the router's HTTP management interface: disable WAN-side remote management, bind administration to the LAN side only, and use firewall/IP allow-listing to restrict port 80/443 access to trusted administrator IPs (trade-off: reduces remote configuration convenience and may hinder legitimate management). Segment the network so that guest Wi-Fi and untrusted LAN clients cannot reach the router's management address, and monitor for httpd crashes or unexpected restarts as an indicator of exploitation attempts. Because the CVSS vector is AV:A/PR:N, any device on the same LAN/Wi-Fi can attempt the overflow, so host-based restrictions that assume a trusted local network are insufficient without network segmentation. Public exploit code is available, increasing the likelihood of scanning and opportunistic attacks; apply the vendor patch as soon as it is released. The exploit reference is https://github.com/johnathanhuutri/CVEReport/tree/master/CVE-2025-67074.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The Tenda AC10 is a consumer Wi-Fi router; firmware 16.03.10.20 runs a lightweight HTTP daemon (bin/httpd) that handles configuration endpoints under /goform/. The vulnerability class is CWE-120 (Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input), meaning the fromAdvSetMacMtuWan handler copies the user-supplied serverName POST parameter into a fixed-length buffer on the stack without bounds validation, causing a stack-based buffer overflow. Because the httpd process runs with the device's web-management privileges, a successful overwrite can crash the service (denial of service) and may allow control-flow hijacking for code execution, although code execution has not been independently verified. The CVSS vector (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) indicates the attack is launched from an adjacent network segment without authentication, and the primary rated impact is availability loss. The CPE cpe:2.3:o:tenda:ac10_firmware:16.03.10.20:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the exact affected firmware build, and public exploit code targeting this endpoint is available at https://github.com/johnathanhuutri/CVEReport/tree/master/CVE-2025-67074.

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.
