1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Impact

CVSS 7.5 reflects high availability impact via unauthenticated network exploitation of Tenda AC6 firmware. Low EPSS (0.02%) indicates low observed exploitation activity. Risk remains elevated due to trivial attack complexity and direct accessibility to IoT devices, though mitigation likelihood depends on device exposure and patch availability from vendor.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

Attacker sends crafted HTTP request to formSetCfm function with oversized funcname, funcpara1, or funcpara2 parameters. Overflow overwrites memory, causing denial of service. Publicly available exploit code exists in GitHub repositories referenced; no authentication required.

Act Now Prioritize within 24-48h. Why: CRITICAL severity.

AnalysisAIv1 – Apr 08, 2026

Buffer overflow in Tenda AC6 router firmware version 15.03.05.16_multi enables unauthenticated remote denial-of-service attacks via crafted HTTP requests to formSetCfm function. Attackers can trigger service disruption by sending malicious funcname, funcpara1, or funcpara2 parameters without authentication. The network-accessible attack vector with low complexity makes this exploitable from the internet. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. Low observed exploitation activity (EPSS 0.02%).

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Tenda has not published security advisory or firmware update addressing CVE-2025-52221 for AC6 15.03.05.16_multi. Users should monitor Tenda official support portal for firmware releases. Immediate mitigations: disable remote administration interface, restrict web management access to trusted internal IP ranges via firewall rules, place device behind network segmentation boundaries. Consider hardware replacement if vendor discontinues AC6 support. Technical analysis available at https://github.com/faqiadegege/IoTVuln/blob/main/tendaAc6_formSetCfm_funcname_overflow/detail.md and NVD advisory https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-52221 for monitoring patch availability.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-120 buffer overflow in formSetCfm function results from inadequate input validation on three HTTP parameters. Network-reachable web interface accepts oversized parameter strings, causing stack or heap corruption that terminates service availability. CVSS vector PR:N confirms unauthenticated attack surface directly exposed to WAN/LAN requests.

DescriptionNVD

Tenda AC6 15.03.05.16_multi is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow in the formSetCfm function via the funcname, funcpara1, and funcpara2 parameters.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Tenda AC6 routers running firmware 15.03.05.16_multi are vulnerable to unauthenticated remote denial-of-service attacks that can disable network connectivity for all users behind the affected device. Any internet-connected attacker can trigger a service outage by sending specially crafted HTTP requests without credentials, creating business continuity risk for organizations relying on these devices for network access.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict HTTP access to router management interfaces via firewall rules-only allow administrative access from trusted IP ranges; (2) Deploy network segmentation to limit impact radius of router compromise; (3) Monitor router CPU and service availability for anomalous behavior; (4) Enable router-level logging if available and review for suspicious HTTP requests; (5) Maintain current configuration backups to enable rapid restoration if denial-of-service occurs.

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.
