MITRE ATT&CK
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. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Authenticated user access to Tenda 4G06 firmware version 04.06.01.29. Attacker must send a crafted request to /goform/DhcpListClient endpoint with manipulated 'page' parameter. No victim interaction required. Remote exploitation via HTTP/HTTPS. |
| Impact | Real-world risk is elevated despite the authentication requirement. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) indicates network-accessible exploitation with low attack complexity requiring only low-privilege credentials-often default or weak passwords on consumer routers. The 8.8 score reflects complete compromise potential (C:H/I:H/A:H). The existence of publicly available exploit code (GitHub PoC) dramatically increases risk by enabling script-kiddie level attacks. However, the PR:L requirement means attackers need valid credentials first, typically obtained through credential stuffing, default password exploitation, or social engineering. No CISA KEV listing suggests this is not yet mass-exploited in the wild, but the public PoC creates immediate risk for organizations using affected devices. SSVC factors indicate high technical impact (total system compromise possible) with confirmed PoC existence. Automated exploitation is feasible once authentication is bypassed. For internet-exposed Tenda 4G06 devices with default/weak credentials, this represents a critical pathway to network infiltration. The lack of available patch information substantially increases risk duration. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker conducts reconnaissance scanning for internet-exposed Tenda 4G06 routers on common management ports (HTTP/443, 80). After identifying a target device, the attacker attempts authentication using default credentials (admin/admin) or credentials obtained from previous breaches. Once authenticated with low-privilege access, the attacker crafts a malicious HTTP request to the /goform/DhcpListClient endpoint with an oversized 'page' parameter value designed to overflow the stack buffer. The crafted payload overwrites the return address on the stack to redirect execution to attacker-controlled shellcode, granting complete control over the router. From this position, the attacker can intercept network traffic, modify DNS responses to redirect users to phishing sites, establish persistent backdoor access, or pivot into the internal network to compromise additional systems. The publicly available PoC code at GitHub provides ready-made exploitation tools, requiring minimal technical sophistication to execute this attack chain. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 29, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda 4G06 router firmware version 04.06.01.29 allows authenticated remote attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability resides in the fromDhcpListClient function accessible via the /goform/DhcpListClient endpoint, triggered by manipulating the 'page' parameter. Publicly available exploit code exists (GitHub PoC published), significantly lowering the barrier to exploitation. CVSS 8.8 (High) reflects network-based attack vector with low complexity, though low-privilege authentication is required. Not currently listed in CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed widespread active exploitation at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis despite public disclosure and PoC availability. Organizations should immediately implement the following mitigations: First, verify if devices are running vulnerable firmware version 04.06.01.29 through the web interface or device labels. Disable remote web management access and restrict administrative interface access to trusted internal networks only, blocking WAN-side access at the firewall level. Change all default credentials to strong, unique passwords with minimum 16-character complexity. Monitor Tenda's official support site (https://www.tenda.com.cn/) for firmware updates addressing CVE-2026-5036. As an alternative, consider replacing affected devices with models from vendors demonstrating stronger security update practices if Tenda does not release timely patches. Network segmentation should isolate IoT/router management VLANs from critical systems. The VulDB advisory at https://vuldb.com/vuln/353962 and the researcher's GitHub repository at https://github.com/Kiciot/cve/issues/1 should be monitored for additional technical details or vendor response updates.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability affects the web management interface of the Tenda 4G06 wireless router, specifically within the DHCP client list functionality. The fromDhcpListClient function in the /goform/DhcpListClient endpoint fails to properly validate the length of the 'page' parameter before copying it to a fixed-size stack buffer. This is a classic CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow) condition where attacker-controlled input exceeds allocated buffer space on the program stack. Embedded router firmware often uses custom web servers with minimal input validation, and stack-based overflows can allow attackers to overwrite return addresses or function pointers to redirect execution flow. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:tenda:4g06:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, with confirmed vulnerable firmware version 04.06.01.29. The /goform/ path pattern is characteristic of Tenda's web interface implementation across multiple router models.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was found in Tenda 4G06 04.06.01.29. This vulnerability affects the function fromDhcpListClient of the file /goform/DhcpListClient of the component Endpoint. Performing a manipulation of the argument page results in stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.
Executive ViewAI
A stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda 4G06 router firmware (version 04.06.01.29) enables authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected network infrastructure. Organizations deploying this router model face elevated risk as publicly available exploit code lowers attacker barriers, though active exploitation has not yet been confirmed by CISA. Immediate inventory and containment actions are critical to prevent credential-based attacks from compromised user accounts.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: Restrict network access to the /goform/DhcpListClient endpoint using firewall ACLs; disable or isolate remote management features on affected routers; implement network segmentation to limit lateral movement if device is compromised; enforce strong authentication on router administrative interfaces and monitor for failed authentication attempts to the affected endpoint.
