Exploitation Conditions

The attacker needs network reachability to the Tenda FH451 V1.0.0.9 web management interface (TCP port 80 by default) and the ability to send a crafted HTTP request invoking the fromDhcpListClient handler with an oversized list1 parameter - no authentication, user interaction, or non-default configuration is required per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). Realistic exploitation is limited by the fact that FH451 management is typically bound to the LAN interface unless 'Remote Web Management' is explicitly enabled by the operator, so internet-facing exploitation requires either that toggle being on or the attacker already having LAN/Wi-Fi access; impact is also bounded to availability (A:H, C:N, I:N), so the bug enables disruption but not code execution or data theft from the available evidence.

Impact

The CVSS 7.5 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) reflects a remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity attack with high availability impact only - consistent with the description of a DoS-class stack overflow. There is no EPSS score, no KEV listing, and no evidence of in-the-wild abuse, so real-world priority is moderate rather than urgent: the device is consumer-grade and typically not directly internet-exposed on its WAN-side management interface by default, which limits the addressable population. The published GitHub artifact under SemVulLLM appears to be academic/LLM-assisted vulnerability research rather than a weaponized exploit, but it does provide a reproducible trigger. CPE data is uninformative ('n/a:n/a'), and EUVD lists affected versions only as 'n/a' - so beyond the description's explicit FH451 V1.0.0.9 designation, the exact scope of affected firmware builds is not independently confirmed.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker on the same LAN segment (or reachable across the WAN if remote management is enabled) sends a single crafted HTTP request to the router's web interface with an oversized list1 parameter targeting the fromDhcpListClient endpoint. The httpd process overflows its stack buffer and crashes, taking the management plane - and on many Tenda builds, the routing/NAT data plane - offline until the device watchdog reboots it. A reproduction artifact is published in the SemVulLLM GitHub repository, lowering the effort required to weaponize the bug for repeated disruption.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 08, 2026

Denial of service in Tenda FH451 router firmware V1.0.0.9 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to crash the device by sending a crafted HTTP request that triggers a stack overflow in the list1 parameter of the fromDhcpListClient function. Publicly available exploit code exists in a GitHub research repository, though the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV and no EPSS score has been published at time of analysis. Impact is limited to availability - no confidentiality or integrity loss is indicated.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - Shenzhen Tenda has not published an advisory or fixed firmware build referenced in the provided intelligence, so administrators should monitor https://www.tendacn.com for an updated FH451 firmware image superseding V1.0.0.9. As compensating controls, restrict access to the router's HTTP management interface to a trusted management VLAN or specific admin IPs (most FH-series devices expose this on LAN by default but support ACLs), and ensure remote/WAN-side web administration is disabled - the trade-off is loss of off-LAN management convenience. Where feasible, place the device behind an upstream firewall that blocks unsolicited HTTP/HTTPS to the router's management port, and consider replacement with a supported model if no firmware update materializes, since EOL SOHO routers commonly accumulate similar form-handler overflows.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The Tenda FH451 is a small office/home office (SOHO) wired router, and the affected fromDhcpListClient routine is part of its web management interface, which exposes DHCP client list handling over HTTP. The root cause is CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow): the list1 query/POST parameter is copied into a fixed-size stack buffer without adequate bounds checking, so an oversized value corrupts the call stack and crashes the httpd process. This pattern is recurrent across Tenda's MIPS-based residential firmware family, where multiple form-handler functions historically lack length validation on user-controlled HTTP parameters.

DescriptionCVE.org

Shenzhen Tenda Technology Co., Ltd Tenda FH451 V1.0.0.9 was discovered to contain a stack overflow in the list1 parameter of the fromDhcpListClient function. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted HTTP request.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Tenda FH451 router firmware V1.0.0.9 is vulnerable to remote denial-of-service attacks from unauthenticated sources, allowing attackers to crash the device and disrupt network operations. Publicly available exploit code exists for this vulnerability. With no vendor patch currently available, organizations using this router model must implement immediate mitigation controls to protect network availability.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Implement network segmentation to isolate affected routers from untrusted networks. Deploy firewall or IPS rules to filter HTTP requests targeting the vulnerable list1 parameter. Disable DHCP list functionality where operationally feasible. Monitor device availability for unexpected crashes and maintain hardware replacement inventory.

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.

Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
