Web-reachable /goform endpoint with no stated auth gives AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N; stack overflow in router httpd typically yields root, so C:H/I:H/A:H, scope unchanged.

DescriptionCVE.org

Tenda AC7 v15.03.06.44 contains a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan interface via the wanMTU parameter.

AnalysisAI

Stack buffer overflow in Tenda AC7 router firmware v15.03.06.44 allows remote attackers to corrupt memory through the wanMTU parameter of the /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan web management endpoint. The CVSS 9.8 rating reflects network-reachable, unauthenticated exploitation with full impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network reachability to the AC7's HTTP management service on the affected firmware 15.03.06.44, plus the ability to issue a POST to the /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan endpoint with an attacker-controlled wanMTU parameter; the CVSS vector marks PR:N and UI:N, implying no authentication or user interaction is needed, but the description does not explicitly confirm whether AdvSetMacMtuWan is reachable pre-authentication, so internet-wide pre-auth exploitation should be treated as plausible but not verified. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H portrays a worst-case remotely exploitable, unauthenticated flaw with full impact, yielding a 9.8 critical score; however, real-world risk hinges on whether the /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan handler is reachable without prior authentication, which the description does not explicitly confirm - Tenda's web UI normally enforces session authentication, so the PR:N rating may overstate exposure if pre-auth reach is actually limited to the LAN side. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who can reach the AC7 web interface - either on the LAN or through a router whose remote management is enabled on the WAN - sends a crafted HTTP POST to /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan with an oversized wanMTU value, overflowing the stack buffer in httpd and either crashing the router (denial of service) or, with a working ROP chain against the MIPS firmware, achieving code execution as the httpd process (typically root on Tenda devices). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but stack overflow patterns in other Tenda /goform/* handlers have been weaponized historically, making POC development a realistic next step.
Remediation No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; Tenda has not published an advisory or fixed firmware version in the supplied data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify and inventory all Tenda AC7 routers with firmware v15.03.06.44; disable remote management access via firewall rules blocking external connections to router management ports. …
