AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

Remote code execution in Tenda i3 firmware versions up to 1.0.0.6(2204) via stack-based buffer overflow in the WiFi MAC filter function allows unauthenticated attackers to achieve full system compromise over the network. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability and no patch is currently available. The flaw requires only low complexity to exploit and affects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected devices.

DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was identified in Tenda i3 1.0.0.6(2204). This affects the function formWifiMacFilterGet of the file /goform/WifiMacFilterGet. The manipulation of the argument index leads to stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.8) affects Tenda i3 wireless routers, potentially allowing unauthorized access to network configuration and device control. Organizations using this equipment face immediate risk of network compromise, data interception, and unauthorized administrative access, particularly concerning given the public availability of exploit code.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Restrict network access to the /goform/WifiMacFilterGet endpoint using firewall rules and network segmentation; disable remote management features if not required; implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to monitor and block suspicious requests to /goform/ endpoints; enforce strong authentication and change default credentials; monitor device logs for exploitation attempts; consider isolating affected devices to a separate management VLAN with restricted access.

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.
