Exploitation Conditions

Requires authenticated access to Tenda FH1201 firmware version 1.2.0.14(408). Attacker must send crafted HTTP request manipulating the GO parameter to /goform/WrlExtraSet endpoint. Remote exploitation possible; authentication credential required.

Impact

Real-world risk is elevated despite authentication requirement. CVSS 8.8 is justified by network attack vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), and complete confidentiality/integrity/availability impact (C:H/I:H/A:H). The PR:L (low privilege required) reduces immediate risk compared to unauthenticated flaws, but consumer routers commonly have default credentials or weak passwords discoverable through credential stuffing. Publicly available exploit code (confirmed via GitHub POC) significantly lowers the skill barrier for attackers. No CISA KEV listing indicates no confirmed active exploitation campaigns at scale, but the POC demonstrates practical weaponization potential. For internet-facing Tenda FH1201 devices, especially those with unchanged default credentials, this represents a high-priority patching concern. Organizations using these routers in SOHO or branch office contexts should prioritize remediation. The CVSS Exploit Maturity of 'Proof-of-Concept' (E:P) aligns with available POC, while RL:X (remediation level not defined) suggests patch status is uncertain.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker identifies internet-exposed Tenda FH1201 routers through Shodan or Censys scanning, targeting devices with default credentials (admin/admin). After authenticating to the web management interface with low-privilege credentials, the attacker sends a crafted HTTP POST request to /goform/WrlExtraSet with an oversized 'GO' parameter value exceeding stack buffer limits. The malicious payload overwrites the return address on the stack, redirecting execution to attacker-controlled shellcode that establishes a reverse shell or installs persistent backdoor firmware. With publicly available exploit code from the GitHub POC repository, even moderately skilled attackers can automate this attack against vulnerable device populations.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 29, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda FH1201 router firmware 1.2.0.14(408) allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted 'GO' parameter to the /goform/WrlExtraSet endpoint. CVSS 8.8 reflects high impact but requires low-privilege authentication (PR:L). Publicly available exploit code exists, demonstrating concrete exploitability. EPSS data not provided, but the combination of available POC and network accessibility elevates real-world risk for internet-exposed devices with default or weak credentials.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. The vendor reference (https://www.tenda.com.cn/) provides no direct security advisory link in the available data. Users should immediately check Tenda's official support portal for firmware updates newer than 1.2.0.14(408) and apply if available. As interim mitigations: disable remote management access to the router's web interface, restrict administrative access to trusted internal IP addresses only via firewall rules, change default administrative credentials to strong unique passwords, and monitor for unauthorized configuration changes. If the device must remain internet-accessible, place it behind a dedicated firewall with strict ingress filtering. Organizations should consider hardware replacement if vendor support has ended or no patch materializes within acceptable risk windows, as consumer router vendors often discontinue security support for older models.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability affects the formWrlExtraSet function within the Parameter Handler component of Tenda FH1201 wireless router firmware, specifically when processing requests to /goform/WrlExtraSet. The root cause is CWE-121 (stack-based buffer overflow), a memory corruption flaw where unchecked input to the 'GO' parameter writes beyond allocated stack buffer boundaries. Tenda FH1201 is a consumer-grade wireless router; the affected firmware version 1.2.0.14(408) processes network configuration requests through CGI-style /goform endpoints. Stack overflows in embedded device firmware often occur in C/C++ code lacking bounds checking on string copy operations, allowing attackers to overwrite return addresses and hijack execution flow. The CPE identifier cpe:2.3:a:tenda:fh1201 confirms this affects the FH1201 product line application firmware.

DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw has been found in Tenda FH1201 1.2.0.14(408). Affected is the function formWrlExtraSet of the file /goform/WrlExtraSet of the component Parameter Handler. Executing a manipulation of the argument GO can lead to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been published and may be used.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Tenda FH1201 router firmware 1.2.0.14(408) contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2026-5046, CVSS 8.8) that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code or disable the device. With publicly available exploit code and no vendor patch currently available, organizations operating this router model face immediate risk of compromise, particularly if devices are internet-exposed or users have weak credentials.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict administrative access to the /goform/WrlExtraSet endpoint via access control lists; (2) Disable remote management features and limit administration to local network only; (3) Isolate affected routers on a dedicated VLAN with strict egress filtering; (4) Monitor for suspicious parameter inputs in access logs; (5) Enforce mandatory credential rotation and multi-factor authentication where supported; (6) Monitor Tenda security advisories for patch releases and plan immediate deployment testing.

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.
