Exploitation Conditions

Tenda AC5 firmware version 15.03.06.47. Attacker requires authenticated access to the device (low-privilege user credentials). Remote exploitation via POST request to /goform/setcfm endpoint with malicious funcpara1 parameter causes stack-based buffer overflow.

Impact

This vulnerability presents a high real-world risk despite requiring low-privilege authentication (PR:L). The CVSS base score of 8.8 reflects network-accessible exploitation (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no user interaction required (UI:N), and high impact across all CIA triad dimensions (C:H/I:H/A:H). The existence of publicly available exploit code significantly elevates the threat, as documented exploits with detailed technical walkthroughs are accessible via multiple references including a Notion document with proof-of-concept details. The E:P (Proof-of-Concept) temporal metric confirms exploit code exists. While EPSS data is not provided in the input, the combination of public exploit availability, network attack vector, low complexity, and consumer router deployment context suggests active scanning and exploitation attempts are probable. No CISA KEV inclusion is indicated, so widespread active exploitation is not confirmed, but the low barrier to entry (authenticated access to router admin interfaces is commonly achievable via credential stuffing, default passwords, or social engineering) makes this a priority for organizations and home users running affected Tenda AC5 devices.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has obtained low-privilege credentials to the Tenda AC5 web administration interface (through default passwords, credential reuse, or prior compromise) crafts a malicious POST request to the /goform/setcfm endpoint with an oversized funcpara1 parameter designed to overflow the stack buffer in the formSetCfm function. Publicly available exploit code exists that demonstrates successful exploitation techniques, allowing the attacker to overwrite return addresses and execute arbitrary code with router firmware privileges. Upon successful exploitation, the attacker gains complete control of the router, enabling network traffic interception, DNS hijacking, persistent backdoor installation, or use of the device as a pivot point into the connected LAN.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 26, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AC5 router firmware version 15.03.06.47 enables remote authenticated attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability resides in the formSetCfm function's handling of the funcpara1 parameter in POST requests to /goform/setcfm. A publicly available exploit exists with proof-of-concept code disclosed through VulDB and documented in detailed technical write-ups, significantly lowering the barrier to exploitation for threat actors targeting vulnerable devices.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch or firmware update version has been identified in the available data at time of analysis. Users should monitor Tenda's official website at https://www.tenda.com.cn/ for firmware security updates addressing CVE-2026-4904. Until a patch becomes available, implement network-level mitigations including disabling remote administration interfaces, restricting administrative access to trusted IP addresses only via firewall rules, enforcing strong unique passwords on router admin accounts, and placing affected devices behind additional network segmentation boundaries. Organizations should consider replacing affected devices with alternative products if Tenda does not release timely security updates, as consumer router vendors often have limited patch lifecycles. Monitor VulDB references at https://vuldb.com/?id.353655 and https://vuldb.com/?ctiid.353655 for updates on vendor response and community-developed mitigations.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability affects the Tenda AC5 wireless router (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:tenda:ac5:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) firmware version 15.03.06.47, specifically in the POST request handler component. The root cause is a CWE-121 stack-based buffer overflow in the formSetCfm function when processing the funcpara1 argument via the /goform/setcfm endpoint. Stack-based buffer overflows occur when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than it was allocated for, potentially overwriting adjacent memory including return addresses and function pointers. In embedded device firmware like router operating systems, these vulnerabilities are particularly dangerous as they can lead to complete device compromise, allowing attackers to manipulate network traffic, establish persistent backdoors, or pivot into connected networks.

DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability has been found in Tenda AC5 15.03.06.47. This issue affects the function formSetCfm of the file /goform/setcfm of the component POST Request Handler. Such manipulation of the argument funcpara1 leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Tenda AC5 routers running firmware 15.03.06.47 are vulnerable to remote code execution through a stack buffer overflow in the device management interface, allowing authenticated attackers to gain complete control of affected devices. Organizations deploying these routers face direct risk to network integrity and confidentiality, with publicly available exploit code substantially reducing the technical barrier for attackers to compromise router infrastructure and pivot into internal networks.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block POST requests to /goform/setcfm endpoint with oversized funcpara1 parameters; restrict management interface access to dedicated administrative network subnets only; enforce mandatory strong authentication (minimum 16-character passwords) on all router admin accounts; disable remote management access if not required; monitor router logs for suspicious POST activity to /goform endpoints. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis.

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.
