Exploitation Conditions

Attacker must have network reachability to the device's Web Management Interface (HTTP admin daemon) and valid low-privileged credentials to authenticate before invoking /goform/Natlimit (CVSS PR:L). Exploitation is constrained to Tenda F451 firmware 1.0.0.7 and 1.0.0.9, requires sending an oversized 'page' argument to the fromNatlimit handler, and no user interaction is needed (UI:N). Devices with the management interface restricted to LAN/management VLAN and using strong unique admin passwords substantially limit reachable attack surface; WAN-exposed admin panels or default credentials remove that limitation.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.4 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) reflects network reachability, low attack complexity, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, but requires low privileges (PR:L) - meaning a valid admin/management credential is needed, which sharply limits internet-scale exploitation against properly configured devices. Publicly available exploit code exists (per VulDB and the linked GitHub PoC), but there is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score supplied, so this should be treated as a credible but not confirmed-in-the-wild threat. The realistic risk is highest where the web management interface is exposed to the WAN or where default/weak credentials are in use; in well-segmented deployments behind authentication the practical risk drops considerably. No EPSS value is provided in the input - quantitative likelihood cannot be cross-referenced.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has obtained or guessed a low-privileged administrator credential (or reached an exposed management interface with default credentials) sends a crafted HTTP request to /goform/Natlimit with an oversized 'page' parameter. The fromNatlimit function copies the value onto the stack without bounds checking, overwriting the saved return address; the publicly posted PoC at the Robots10/IoT_vlu repository demonstrates the crash and parameter shape, providing a direct foothold for further weaponization on these embedded targets.

AnalysisAIv3 – Jun 08, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Tenda F451 router (firmware 1.0.0.7 and 1.0.0.9) Web Management Interface allows remote authenticated attackers to corrupt memory by sending a crafted 'page' argument to the fromNatlimit handler at /goform/Natlimit. Publicly available exploit code exists, raising practical risk for exposed or LAN-reachable devices, though no public exploit identified as actively used in CISA KEV at time of analysis.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Tenda F451 router (firmware 1.0.0.7 and 1.0.0.9) Web Management Interface allows remote authenticated attackers to corrupt memory by submitting a crafted 'page' argument to the fromNatlimit handler at /goform/Natlimit. Publicly available exploit code exists, raising the likelihood of opportunistic attacks against exposed management interfaces, though the issue is not currently listed in CISA KEV. The flaw enables high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the device per the CVSS 4.0 vector.

v1 Jun 08, 2026 - 19:21 CVSS 8.8

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Tenda F451 router (firmware 1.0.0.7 and 1.0.0.9) allows authenticated remote attackers to corrupt memory via the page parameter of the fromNatlimit handler at /goform/Natlimit. Publicly available exploit code exists, raising the likelihood of opportunistic exploitation against exposed management interfaces, though no confirmed in-the-wild activity has been reported. CVSS 8.8 reflects high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact with low attacker complexity.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; monitor https://www.tenda.com.cn/ and the VulDB entry at https://vuldb.com/cve/CVE-2026-11557 for a firmware update covering versions beyond 1.0.0.9. In the interim, restrict access to the Web Management Interface to trusted management VLANs only and disable any WAN-side remote administration so /goform/Natlimit is not reachable from the internet (trade-off: loss of remote admin convenience). Enforce strong, unique administrator passwords and rotate credentials, since exploitation requires PR:L - credential hygiene materially reduces exposure. Where feasible on aging SOHO hardware without a forthcoming fix, plan device replacement, as embedded routers without active firmware support frequently accumulate similar stack overflows.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The Tenda F451 is a SOHO/SMB router whose embedded HTTP administration daemon exposes /goform/* endpoints implemented in native C handlers. The vulnerable fromNatlimit function processes the 'page' query parameter without adequate bounds checking before copying it onto a fixed-size stack buffer, matching CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow). On MIPS/ARM embedded Linux targets typical of Tenda devices, such overflows commonly overwrite the saved return address or function pointers, and the lack of modern mitigations (ASLR, stack canaries, NX) on this class of firmware historically makes them straightforward to weaponize into command execution. The single affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:tenda:f451 covering the listed firmware revisions.

DescriptionCVE.org

A weakness has been identified in Tenda F451 1.0.0.7/1.0.0.9. The affected element is the function fromNatlimit of the file /goform/Natlimit of the component Web Management Interface. Executing a manipulation of the argument page can lead to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda F451 router firmware versions 1.0.0.7 and 1.0.0.9 allows authenticated attackers to corrupt memory and compromise router operations. Publicly available exploit code exists, creating immediate exploitation risk for any organization with these devices exposed on accessible networks, with no vendor patch available for remediation.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict network-level access to router management interfaces via firewall rules and IP whitelisting to authorized subnets only; (2) Disable unnecessary services including remote management and UPnP; (3) Implement VLAN segmentation isolating routers from critical business systems; (4) Monitor device logs and firewall records for exploitation attempts targeting /goform/Natlimit endpoint; (5) Develop hardware replacement plan with vendor equipment offering patch support.

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.

A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than it was allocated to hold.
