Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires network access to the Tenda HG10's Boa web management interface and possession of valid management credentials (confirmed PR:L in the CVSS 4.0 vector). The specific vulnerable endpoint is /boaform/formWlanSetup; the ssid POST parameter must be set to a value exceeding the buffer's fixed size. In default deployments, the management interface is LAN-side only, limiting exploitation to LAN-resident or LAN-adjacent attackers; if remote management is enabled, exploitation becomes network-reachable from the internet. The key limiting factors are: (1) management credentials must be known or guessed - factory default credentials on Tenda devices are a known risk; (2) access to the management interface port must not be blocked by upstream firewall rules. No non-default configuration or special feature flag is required beyond the standard WLAN configuration form being accessible.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) characterizes this as a low-complexity, network-reachable exploit requiring only low-level credentials, with full impact on the vulnerable device. The E:P supplemental metric confirms a publicly available PoC, which meaningfully accelerates threat timelines compared to CVEs with no exploit code. No CISA KEV listing was found, suggesting exploitation has not been confirmed as widespread; however, even a mid-sized municipal IT team in walbrzych managing branch-office or remote-worker SOHO routers should treat the public PoC as a material escalation of urgency. The PR:L requirement - valid management credentials - is the primary limiting factor; Tenda consumer devices are frequently deployed with default or weak credentials, which substantially narrows the practical barrier for exploitation. EPSS data is absent from the input; risk should be weighted from PoC availability and the prevalence of weak credentials on SOHO devices rather than statistical exploitation rates.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has obtained valid router management credentials - through credential stuffing against a default Tenda password, phishing, or LAN sniffing - sends a crafted HTTP POST request to /boaform/formWlanSetup with an oversized ssid value. The Boa server's formWlanSetup function copies this value without bounds checking, overflowing a fixed buffer and overwriting return addresses or function pointers, leading to arbitrary code execution under the Boa process context. A public GitHub PoC documents the exact triggering payload, making this reproducible without deep reverse-engineering expertise.

AnalysisAIv2 – Sep 03, 2026

Buffer overflow in Tenda HG10 router firmware version 300001138 enables network-accessible authenticated attackers to overflow memory in the Boa embedded web server's WLAN configuration handler, potentially achieving arbitrary code execution. The vulnerable parameter is ssid within the /boaform/formWlanSetup endpoint, which lacks input length validation per CWE-120. A public proof-of-concept is hosted on GitHub, concretely lowering the exploitation bar; no vendor patch has been identified at time of analysis.

Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
v1 Sep 03, 2026 - 14:17 CVSS 8.7

Buffer overflow in the Tenda HG10 router (firmware 300001138) allows remote exploitation via the formWlanSetup endpoint of the Boa embedded web server. An attacker who supplies an oversized ssid argument to /boaform/formWlanSetup can corrupt memory and potentially achieve arbitrary code execution on the device. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available on GitHub, significantly lowering the barrier to exploitation.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis; users should monitor https://www.tenda.com.cn/ for firmware updates targeting CVE-2026-85110. As immediate compensating controls: restrict access to the Boa web management interface so that the /boaform/formWlanSetup endpoint is reachable only from trusted LAN segments, and block all WAN-side exposure of the router's HTTP management port - this eliminates the network attack vector for remote adversaries. Change all management credentials from factory defaults to strong, unique passwords to raise the PR:L bar materially, since the exploit requires authenticated access. Where possible, disable remote management features entirely. If the router supports firewall ACLs, restrict management interface access to specific administrator hosts. The public PoC at https://github.com/SunnyYANGyaya/cuicuishark-sheep-fishIOT/blob/main/Tenda/HG10/bof-formWlanSetup-ssid.md documents the triggering payload and should be reviewed to inform IDS/IPS signature development.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The Tenda HG10 is a consumer/SOHO wireless router running the Boa embedded HTTP server to expose its web management interface. The function formWlanSetup, located at /boaform/formWlanSetup, processes wireless network configuration including the SSID. CWE-120 (Classic Buffer Overflow) indicates the function copies the user-supplied ssid argument into a fixed-size buffer - on the stack or heap - without validating input length, enabling adjacent memory overwrite and potential control-flow hijack. CPE cpe:2.3:a:tenda:hg10:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers the full product line with a wildcard version, implying all firmware revisions may share the flaw, though only version 300001138 is explicitly confirmed in the report.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Tenda HG10 routers running firmware version 300001138 contain a buffer overflow vulnerability in the embedded web server that authenticated network users can exploit to execute arbitrary code. With publicly available exploit code already circulating, this presents a material and immediate exploitation risk. Organizations using these routers for network connectivity or guest services face potential compromise of internal network access and data security.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Restrict administrative access to router management interface through network access controls (VPN, jump host, or IP whitelisting); disable remote management and confine local administration to trusted networks only; monitor router logs and network traffic for exploitation attempts targeting /boaform/formWlanSetup endpoint with large or malformed ssid parameter values; implement IDS/IPS signatures for buffer overflow patterns on management ports; segment router administration from general user networks using VLANs or network zones; maintain current backups of router configurations to enable rapid recovery if compromise occurs.
