Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires reaching the HG10's Boa web server and sending a request to the specific endpoint /boaform/admin/formIPv6Routing with an overlong destNet parameter. The supplied CVSS vector states AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N (no authentication or user interaction), but the /admin/ path strongly implies the handler may sit behind an authenticated admin session - this must be verified against firmware build 300001138, because if a login is required, exploitation is limited to authenticated or LAN-resident attackers. The primary limiting factor is network exposure: HG10 management interfaces are typically LAN-facing and not reachable from the Internet unless remote administration is deliberately enabled, so realistic attackers are on the local network or leveraging an already-authenticated admin. Affected build is 300001138 (other versions unconfirmed).

Impact

The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N, all vulnerable- and subsequent-system impacts High, E:P) yields 9.3 and models an unauthenticated, low-complexity, network-reachable full compromise, which combined with public exploit code makes this a genuine priority for any exposed HG10. Two signals temper that: the vulnerable endpoint lives under /boaform/admin/, which on many Tenda/Boa devices sits behind session authentication, so the PR:N (unauthenticated) claim conflicts with the path semantics and should be verified against the actual firmware - if auth is required, real-world risk drops toward that of an authenticated LAN-side attack. The E:P (Proof-of-Concept) exploit maturity and absence from CISA KEV mean code exists but weaponized in-the-wild campaigns are not confirmed; no EPSS score was provided to gauge exploitation likelihood. Because HG10 management interfaces are usually LAN-facing rather than WAN-exposed by default, the practical attack surface for most deployments is an attacker already on the local network or one that has lured a logged-in admin, and any operator running these units should still treat public-exploit-plus-critical-CVSS as urgent and patch or restrict management access promptly.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with network reach to an HG10's web interface - either an adversary on the same LAN/Wi-Fi or, if management is WAN-exposed, a remote attacker - sends a crafted HTTP POST to /boaform/admin/formIPv6Routing with an overlong destNet value. The oversized argument overflows the stack buffer in the Boa handler, crashing the router (denial of service) or, with a tuned payload, executing attacker code on the device. A public PoC for this exact endpoint and parameter already exists, lowering the effort required to reproduce the crash.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 30, 2026

Remote code execution and device takeover in the Tenda HG10 (firmware build 300001138) is possible through a stack buffer overflow in the Boa web server's formIPv6Routing handler, reachable at /boaform/admin/formIPv6Routing. An oversized destNet parameter overflows a fixed-size buffer (CWE-120), letting a remote attacker crash the device or execute arbitrary code with the web server's privileges. Publicly available exploit code exists (VulDB), though the issue is not listed in CISA KEV and no active exploitation is confirmed; EPSS is not provided.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch or fixed firmware version was identified in the provided data, so remediation currently relies on compensating controls rather than an upgrade; monitor https://www.tenda.com.cn/ and VulDB (https://vuldb.com/cve/CVE-2026-82542) for a corrected build and apply it once released. In the meantime, ensure the HG10 web management interface is never exposed to the WAN/Internet - block inbound TCP to the HTTP/HTTPS management ports at the network edge - which prevents remote unauthenticated abuse at the cost of losing any intentional remote administration. Restrict LAN-side access to the /boaform/admin/ paths to a trusted management VLAN or specific admin hosts via ACLs, accepting that legitimate admins must connect from those segments. Change default credentials and keep the admin session logged out when not in use to reduce the window for an authenticated variant of the attack, and consider replacing end-of-support HG10 units if no firmware fix appears. Because the PoC targets the destNet field, an upstream firewall/IPS rule that drops requests to /boaform/admin/formIPv6Routing carrying oversized destNet values can serve as a stopgab, with the trade-off of potentially blocking legitimate IPv6 route configuration.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The HG10 is a Tenda residential gateway/router whose management interface is served by the Boa web server, a compact embedded HTTP daemon historically shipped on many low-cost SOHO devices and repeatedly affected by memory-safety bugs. The vulnerable code path is the CGI-style handler formIPv6Routing under /boaform/admin/, which parses IPv6 static-routing form fields. CWE-120 (classic buffer overflow / copy-without-bounds-check) means the destNet argument is copied into a fixed-length stack buffer without validating its length, so an attacker-controlled string longer than the buffer overwrites adjacent stack memory - typically enabling a controlled crash and, depending on layout and mitigations (which embedded MIPS/ARM Boa builds frequently lack), redirection of execution. The single CPE provided, cpe:2.3:a:tenda:hg10:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, scopes the affected component to the Tenda HG10 across versions but does not pin firmware ranges beyond the reported build 300001138.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Tenda HG10 routers (firmware build 300001138) contain a critical remote code execution vulnerability in the web interface allowing attackers to seize control of network perimeter devices; with publicly available exploit code and no vendor patch identified, affected routers represent an immediate risk of network intrusion and compromise. Organizations using this router model must urgently identify and isolate these devices to prevent unauthorized access to internal systems.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: network segmentation-isolate affected routers from critical assets and sensitive networks; access control lists-restrict web interface access to trusted source IPs only; disable unnecessary services (UPnP, remote management); implement rate-limiting on the affected endpoint; establish continuous network and endpoint monitoring for exploitation signatures; prioritize hardware replacement program for devices in production and critical infrastructure roles.

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.
