Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires network access to the router's HTTP management interface and the ability to invoke /goform/WifiBasicSet with a malicious security_5g value; the supplied CVSS 4.0 vector carries PR:L, indicating a low-privilege authenticated session (e.g., a logged-in web UI user) is needed rather than fully unauthenticated access. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L). Practical exposure is limited by whether the management interface is reachable from the attacker's network position - default configurations typically expose it only on the LAN/Wi-Fi side, so remote-WAN exploitation depends on the interface being WAN-exposed. Affected scope is confined to Tenda BE3L Pro firmware 16.03.60.62.

Impact

This is a buffer overflow (CWE-120) in the Tenda BE3L Pro router firmware 16.03.60.62, in the formWifiBasicSet handler for /goform/WifiBasicSet via the security_5g parameter. The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) scores 8.6 (High) and indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring low-level privileges (PR:L), with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability on both the vulnerable and subsequent systems. Exploit maturity is marked E:P (Proof-of-Concept), consistent with the publicly available exploit on GitHub (Tmzop/Tenda-CVE). The vulnerability is NOT listed in CISA KEV, and no EPSS score is provided in the input, so predicted exploitation probability is unknown. Real-world risk is moderated by several factors: this is VulDB-reported (a crowd/automated source) rather than vendor-confirmed, it affects a specific consumer/SOHO router model, and the PR:L requirement implies some prior access or authentication is needed. However, the combination of a published exploit, low attack complexity, and the historical pattern of Tenda /goform buffer overflows being trivially weaponizable makes this a credible priority for anyone with these devices exposed. Net: genuine actionable risk for affected deployments, but not a mass-exploitation emergency absent KEV/EPSS corroboration.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with network reachability to the router's web management interface sends a crafted request to /goform/WifiBasicSet containing an oversized security_5g argument, overflowing a fixed-size buffer in formWifiBasicSet. This corrupts memory to crash the device or potentially execute attacker-controlled code with the web server's privileges. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available on GitHub (Tmzop/Tenda-CVE), lowering the barrier to reproduction.

AnalysisAIv2 – Oct 21, 2026

Buffer overflow in the Tenda BE3L Pro router running firmware 16.03.60.62 lets an authenticated, low-privileged user of the web management interface corrupt memory and potentially achieve code execution or force a device crash by submitting a crafted security_5g value to /goform/WifiBasicSet. The bug is network-reachable with low attack complexity and no user interaction, and publicly available exploit code exists (no CISA KEV confirmation of active exploitation at time of analysis). Practical risk hinges on exposure: the management interface is normally confined to the LAN/Wi-Fi side, so exposure to untrusted networks materially raises the threat.

Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
v1 Oct 21, 2026 - 19:35 CVSS 9.4

Authenticated remote attackers can corrupt memory in Tenda BE3L Pro 16.03.60.62 by submitting an oversized security_5g parameter to the /goform/WifiBasicSet handler, a stack-based buffer overflow that can crash the device or potentially enable code execution. The attack requires network reachability to the router's HTTP management interface and low-privilege credentials, so on default LAN-only deployments it is not directly internet-exploitable. Publicly available exploit code exists (a GitHub PoC is referenced), but there is no confirmed active exploitation, and the 9.4 CVSS 4.0 score should be weighed against the PR:L and management-interface preconditions.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis: the provided references point only to the VulDB disclosure, a public PoC repository, and the Tenda corporate site, with no fixed firmware version named, so the first step is to check https://www.tenda.com.cn/ (and regional Tenda support portals) for a BE3L Pro firmware release newer than 16.03.60.62 that addresses the formWifiBasicSet handler. Until such a build is confirmed, apply compensating controls: disable WAN-side remote management and any port-forwarding or UPnP mapping that exposes the router's HTTP/HTTPS administration ports, which blocks network-path exploitation but does not protect against attackers already on the LAN/Wi-Fi; rotate the administrator password and audit/remove unused web UI accounts, since the PR:L vector requires a low-privilege authenticated session and credential reuse or weak defaults are the cheapest path in - note this does not remediate the overflow itself. Place the router's management network on a segmented VLAN reachable only from trusted admin hosts, and treat guest/IoT Wi-Fi clients as untrusted, with the trade-off of added administrative overhead. Where the Wi-Fi configuration UI is not needed, restrict access to /goform/WifiBasicSet at the network layer (ACL on the management interface) and monitor HTTP logs for anomalous POST requests carrying oversized security_5g values; these reduce exposure but leave the underlying memory-safety flaw intact until firmware is updated.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The issue is a classic buffer overflow (CWE-120) in Tenda's embedded HTTP/goform service, specifically the formWifiBasicSet handler that processes POST data sent to /goform/WifiBasicSet. The security_5g parameter is copied into a fixed-size buffer without adequate length validation, allowing an attacker who can reach the handler to overwrite adjacent memory. Because these handlers run inside the router's management daemon, successful corruption can crash the service or, depending on the memory layout of the firmware build, divert execution in the context of that privileged process. The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:tenda:be3l_pro:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* is version-wildcarded, and the reported affected release is 16.03.60.62; the CVSS 4.0 vector carries PR:L, meaning a logged-in low-privilege web UI session is required rather than fully unauthenticated access, which limits exploitation to attackers who already hold credentials or have captured a session.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The Tenda BE3L Pro router on firmware 16.03.60.62 has a high-severity buffer overflow in its web management interface that can crash the device or potentially enable code execution through a crafted request to the WifiBasicSet endpoint. Publicly available exploit code exists, and no vendor-released patch has been identified, so risk is concentrated in devices whose management interface is reachable beyond a trusted LAN/Wi-Fi segment. Leadership should care because an exposed or poorly segmented router can cause operational outages, become a foothold for network compromise, and create downstream risk for users and services behind it.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Restrict the web management interface to trusted LAN/Wi-Fi only, block WAN/guest/remote management access, segment affected routers on an isolated management VLAN, limit administration to named trusted hosts, monitor for crashes/restarts and requests to /goform/WifiBasicSet, and replace or remove devices from exposed roles if isolation cannot be assured.

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.
