Exploitation Conditions

Requires authenticated access to Tenda AC7 router (firmware 15.03.06.44). Attacker must be a logged-in user with access to the /goform/SetSysTimeCfg POST endpoint to send a crafted Time parameter triggering stack-based buffer overflow.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.4 reflects high severity with complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H). The attack vector analysis shows network-accessible exploitation (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) requiring only low privileges (PR:L), making this highly practical to exploit. The CVSS E:P metric confirms proof-of-concept exploit code exists and has been publicly disclosed via the Notion document reference, significantly lowering the barrier to exploitation. While no CISA KEV listing or EPSS score is provided in the data, the combination of public exploit availability, low attack complexity, authenticated but low-privilege requirement, and complete system impact elevates real-world risk substantially. The authentication requirement (PR:L) provides minimal protection since consumer routers often have default credentials or weak passwords. For organizations using Tenda AC7 routers in production environments, this represents an immediate priority requiring emergency patching or device replacement, as authenticated network access to router management interfaces is commonly achievable by internal threat actors or via credential compromise.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has obtained low-privilege credentials to the Tenda AC7 web management interface (through credential stuffing, default passwords, or social engineering) connects to the router over the network and sends a malicious POST request to /goform/SetSysTimeCfg with an oversized Time parameter value crafted to overflow the stack buffer. This overwrites the return address on the stack, redirecting execution to attacker-controlled shellcode that establishes persistent backdoor access to the router, allowing traffic interception, DNS hijacking, or pivot points into the internal network. Publicly available exploit code exists demonstrating this attack path, making exploitation straightforward for actors with basic network access.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 27, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AC7 router firmware 15.03.06.44 allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted Time parameter to /goform/SetSysTimeCfg endpoint. Publicly available exploit code exists. EPSS data not available, but exploitation requires low attack complexity with network access and low privileges (CVSS:4.0 AV:N/AC:L/PR:L). This is a critical pre-authentication boundary issue in consumer router infrastructure with confirmed POC, warranting immediate patching for affected deployments.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis based on available data. Organizations using Tenda AC7 firmware version 15.03.06.44 should immediately check the official Tenda support portal at https://www.tenda.com.cn/ for updated firmware releases addressing this vulnerability. As an interim risk mitigation measure, restrict network access to the router's administrative interface (/goform/ endpoints) to trusted management networks only, implement strong non-default administrative credentials, disable remote management features if not operationally required, and consider placing affected devices behind additional network segmentation controls. Given the severity and public exploit availability, organizations should prioritize firmware updates as soon as vendor patches become available, or evaluate replacing affected devices with alternative router models if Tendalavender-bicycle-a5a.notion.site/Tenda-AC7-fromSetSysTime-32153a41781f801c95b0f8a53eaa9a1f for technical exploitation details and monitor VulDB tracking at https://vuldb.com/?id.353861 for patch status updates.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability affects the fromSetSysTime function within the POST request handler for the SetSysTimeCfg configuration interface in Tenda AC7 wireless routers running firmware version 15.03.06.44. The flaw is classified as CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer), specifically manifesting as a stack-based buffer overflow. The vulnerability occurs when processing the Time parameter in POST requests to /goform/SetSysTimeCfg, where insufficient input validation allows an attacker to overflow stack memory by sending a crafted Time value exceeding allocated buffer space. This is a common vulnerability class in embedded device web management interfaces where C-based firmware implementations lack proper bounds checking on user-supplied configuration parameters. The stack-based nature of the overflow means attackers can potentially overwrite return addresses and execute arbitrary code in the context of the router's web server process.

DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw has been found in Tenda AC7 15.03.06.44. Affected by this issue is the function fromSetSysTime of the file /goform/SetSysTimeCfg of the component POST Request Handler. Executing a manipulation of the argument Time can lead to stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Tenda AC7 router firmware version 15.03.06.44 contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected devices. This vulnerability directly impacts network perimeter security for any organization or individual deploying these routers, potentially compromising all downstream network traffic and connected systems. Immediate firmware assessment and replacement planning are required.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict administrative access to the affected router to trusted networks only, disable remote management features, monitor the /goform/SetSysTimeCfg endpoint for suspicious requests, and prioritize replacement with actively-supported router firmware.
