DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability has been found in Tenda F456 1.0.0.5. Affected by this vulnerability is the function fromSafeClientFilter of the file /goform/SafeClientFilter. Such manipulation of the argument menufacturer/Go leads to buffer overflow. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

AnalysisAI

Buffer overflow in Tenda F456 router firmware 1.0.0.5 allows authenticated remote attackers to achieve high-impact compromise of device confidentiality, integrity, and availability through crafted input to the SafeClientFilter function. A proof-of-concept exploit has been published on GitHub, increasing the likelihood of exploitation attempts against exposed management interfaces. While authentication is required (PR:L), the low attack complexity (AC:L) and network accessibility (AV:N) make this exploitable by attackers with basic router credentials.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability affects the fromSafeClientFilter function in the /goform/SafeClientFilter endpoint of Tenda F456 router firmware version 1.0.0.5. The flaw is a classic stack-based or heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-120) where user-controlled input parameters 'menufacturer' or 'Go' are copied into fixed-size buffers without proper bounds checking. Router web management interfaces written in C commonly exhibit this vulnerability class when handling POST parameters to CGI-like handlers under /goform/. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:tenda:f456:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) indicates this is an application-layer vulnerability in the router's web management firmware, likely affecting the embedded HTTP server or management daemon processing client filtering rules.

RemediationAI

Check for firmware updates beyond version 1.0.0.5 from the official Tenda support site at https://www.tenda.com.cn/ - however, no confirmed patched version is identified in available data at time of analysis, and Tenda's history suggests patches may not be released for older hardware. If no patch exists, implement the following compensating controls in order of effectiveness: (1) Disable remote/WAN administration entirely if not required for business operations - this eliminates network-based attack vector but breaks remote management workflows. (2) Restrict management interface access to specific trusted IP addresses via firewall rules or access control lists - reduces exposure but requires static IP infrastructure and fails if attacker pivots from trusted network. (3) Change default credentials to strong unique passwords immediately - mitigates credential-based access (PR:L requirement) but does not prevent exploitation by authenticated users or after credential compromise. (4) Place affected devices behind a separate firewall/gateway and monitor for anomalous traffic to /goform/ endpoints - provides detection capability but does not prevent exploitation. Consider hardware replacement with actively supported models if Tenda does not release a patch within 30 days, as buffer overflows allow complete device takeover.
