Exploitation Conditions

The CVSS 4.0 vector specifies PR:L - exploitation requires low-privilege authenticated access to the Tenda G0 httpd web management interface; unauthenticated remote exploitation is not supported by the available data. The vulnerability is triggered specifically through the Port Mirror configuration feature: the attacker must submit a POST request to the /goform/module endpoint with an oversized portMirrorMirroredPorts parameter, meaning the Port Mirroring functionality of the management interface must be accessible to the authenticated session. Network reachability to the device's HTTP management port is required. Limiting factors: valid credentials (at any privilege level) must be obtained first; the management interface must not be firewalled from the attacker's position; and exploitation behavior on firmwares with stack canaries or ASLR (if any) is not addressed in available sources.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) scores 7.4 and indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring low-privilege authentication, with full impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The E:P supplemental metric reflects the confirmed public proof-of-concept. No CISA KEV listing exists, so confirmed active exploitation at scale is not established - however, the public PoC and the historically weak exploit mitigations on consumer Tenda firmware make this a credible near-term exploitation risk. Any organization running Tenda G0 devices with the management interface exposed to untrusted networks - even a mid-sized network operator in radom deploying these as CPE devices - should treat remediation as urgent given the trivial post-auth exploitation path. EPSS data was not provided in the input; risk prioritization relies on CVSS vector, E:P tag, and PoC availability. The PR:L requirement is a partial mitigating factor - credential theft or default credential use could bridge this gap on poorly managed devices.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has obtained low-privilege credentials to the Tenda G0 management interface - via credential stuffing against default credentials or lateral movement - sends a crafted HTTP POST request to /goform/module with a portMirrorMirroredPorts value far exceeding the expected buffer size. The formSetPortMirror function copies this input onto the stack without bounds checking, overwriting the return address and enabling control-flow hijack or device crash. A public proof-of-concept demonstrating this technique is available at https://github.com/lipenghai/iot_bug/blob/main/Tenda/G0/1.md, providing a ready template for exploitation.

AnalysisAIv2 – Aug 14, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Tenda G0 router's httpd web management interface allows network-adjacent or remote authenticated attackers to corrupt stack memory by supplying an oversized value to the portMirrorMirroredPorts argument of the formSetPortMirror function at the /goform/module endpoint. All G0 firmware builds through 20260625 are confirmed affected per EUVD-2026-58575 and NVD CPE data. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available on GitHub, materially lowering the bar for exploitation; no CISA KEV listing has been identified, so active widespread exploitation is not confirmed at time of analysis.

Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
v1 Aug 14, 2026 - 03:59 CVSS 8.7

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Tenda G0 router's httpd web management interface allows remote low-privileged attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying an oversized portMirrorMirroredPorts argument to the formSetPortMirror function at /goform/module. All firmware versions up to build 20260625 are affected per NVD/VulDB data, and a public proof-of-concept exploit is confirmed available on GitHub, substantially lowering the bar for exploitation. No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis, leaving devices exposed without compensating controls.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - patch availability should be monitored via https://www.tenda.com.cn/ and the VulDB entry at https://vuldb.com/vuln/389757. Until a firmware update is available, the primary compensating control is to block external network access to the httpd management interface (typically TCP 80/443) using an upstream firewall or ACL, preventing network-reachable exploitation at the cost of disabling remote web-based management. As an additional control, change any default credentials on the device to reduce the risk of credential-based access enabling exploitation - the PR:L requirement means valid low-privilege credentials must first be obtained. Do not expose the Tenda G0 management interface directly to the internet or untrusted VLANs. Monitor the GitHub PoC repository at https://github.com/lipenghai/iot_bug/blob/main/Tenda/G0/1.md for weaponization updates.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Tenda G0 is a SOHO/consumer-grade router running an embedded HTTP daemon (httpd) that serves the device's web-based management interface. The vulnerable code path is the formSetPortMirror handler, which processes the port mirroring configuration submitted via HTTP POST to /goform/module. CWE-121 (Stack-Based Buffer Overflow) identifies the root cause: the function copies the caller-supplied portMirrorMirroredPorts string into a fixed-size stack buffer without validating input length, enabling a classic stack smash. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:tenda:g0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all sub-versions up to the 20260625 firmware build. Exploitation feasibility on embedded MIPS/ARM routers typically depends on whether stack canaries and ASLR are implemented in the firmware; consumer Tenda devices historically ship without these protections.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda G0 routers' web management interface (CVE-2026-19790, CVSS 7.4) allows authenticated network users to corrupt memory and potentially disrupt router operations or gain control. Organizations using G0 devices for network infrastructure are at risk, particularly those with multiple users accessing the management interface or where network segmentation is weak.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Restrict access to the /goform/module endpoint and web management interface to authenticated users via network-segmented administrative access or VPN. Implement firewall rules limiting management access by IP address and require VPN for remote administration. Monitor access logs for oversized portMirrorMirroredPorts arguments and repeated failed authentication attempts. Disable unused management protocols. These interim mitigations reduce but do not eliminate risk; device replacement should be prioritized.

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.
