A vulnerability was found in Tenda F453 1.0.0.3. This issue affects the function frmL7ImForm of the file /goform/L7Im. The manipulation of the argument page results in buffer overflow. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A critical vulnerability (CVE-2026-3380) affects Tenda F453 wireless routers with no vendor patch currently available. Organizations using this device model face potential unauthorized access and network compromise, as public exploits are already circulating. Immediate action is required to assess exposure and implement interim protections.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block HTTP requests to /goform/L7Im endpoint; restrict administrative access via network segmentation and VPN; disable L7 filtering features if operationally feasible; monitor for suspicious traffic patterns; consider replacing device with alternative vendor solution until patch availability is confirmed.

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.
