Exploitation Conditions

Requires authenticated access to Tenda F453 router running firmware version 1.0.0.3. Attacker must have valid login credentials to access the /goform/VirtualSer endpoint and manipulate the 'page' parameter to trigger stack-based buffer overflow. Remote exploitation requires prior authentication.

Impact

The CVSS score of 8.8 (High) reflects significant risk with network-based attack vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), and requirement for low-privilege authentication (PR:L). All three CIA impact ratings are High, indicating potential for complete system compromise. The critical risk factor is the publicly available exploit code on GitHub (https://github.com/Litengzheng/vul_db/blob/main/F453/vul_87/README.md), which dramatically increases the likelihood of exploitation by lowering technical barriers. The CVSS temporal metrics show Exploit Maturity as Proof-of-concept (E:P), confirming demonstrable exploit code exists. While authentication is required (PR:L), many IoT devices use default or weak credentials, making this requirement minimal in practice. The combination of public exploit availability, network accessibility, and high impact makes this a real-world priority requiring immediate attention, particularly for internet-facing deployments.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has obtained low-privilege credentials (through credential stuffing, default passwords, or prior reconnaissance) connects to the Tenda F453 router's web management interface over the network. They send a crafted HTTP request to the /goform/VirtualSer endpoint with an oversized 'page' parameter value designed to overflow the stack buffer. This overwrites critical memory structures, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the web server process, potentially gaining full control of the router to intercept traffic, modify DNS settings, or pivot to internal network resources. The attack is straightforward given the publicly available proof-of-concept code on GitHub.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 22, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda F453 firmware version 1.0.0.3 allows remote attackers to achieve complete system compromise through manipulation of the page parameter in the VirtualSer handler. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, and no patch is currently available. An attacker with network access can execute arbitrary code with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
v1 Mar 22, 2026 - 14:45 CVSS 7.4

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Tenda F453 router firmware version 1.0.0.3, specifically in the fromVirtualSer function within the /goform/VirtualSer endpoint. An authenticated remote attacker can exploit this by manipulating the 'page' parameter to achieve high-impact compromise including code execution, data theft, and denial of service. A proof-of-concept exploit has been publicly disclosed on GitHub, significantly lowering the barrier to exploitation.

RemediationAI

Users of Tenda F453 routers running firmware 1.0.0.3 should immediately check the vendor website at https://www.tenda.com.cn/ for updated firmware versions that address this vulnerability and apply patches as soon as available. Until patching is possible, implement defense-in-depth mitigations including: disable remote administration access to the router web interface, restrict management interface access to trusted internal network segments only via firewall rules, change default administrative credentials to strong unique passwords, and monitor for unusual activity targeting the /goform/VirtualSer endpoint. Consider replacing the device if the vendor does not provide security updates, as publicly available exploits significantly increase risk exposure.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability affects the Tenda F453 wireless router (cpe:2.3:a:tenda:f453:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) running firmware version 1.0.0.3. The flaw is classified as CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow), occurring in the Parameters Handler component when processing the VirtualSer function. Stack-based buffer overflows occur when data is written beyond the allocated stack buffer boundary, potentially overwriting return addresses or other critical memory structures. The vulnerable endpoint is /goform/VirtualSer, which appears to handle virtual server configuration settings. The 'page' parameter lacks proper bounds checking, allowing an attacker to inject excessive data that corrupts the stack memory space.

DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was determined in Tenda F453 1.0.0.3. This issue affects the function fromVirtualSer of the file /goform/VirtualSer of the component Parameters Handler. Executing a manipulation of the argument page can lead to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A critical vulnerability in Tenda F453 routers enables authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code, steal data, or crash devices through a publicly available exploit. Organizations using this router model face immediate risk of network compromise, data breach, and service disruption without remediation.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Restrict network access to the /goform/VirtualSer endpoint via firewall rules; implement Web Application Firewall rules to block malicious 'page' parameter payloads; disable the VirtualSer virtual server feature if not operationally required; segment affected routers to isolated network zones; enforce strong authentication controls; monitor for suspicious traffic patterns targeting this endpoint; establish vendor communication channels for patch notification.

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.

A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than it was allocated to hold.
