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 F451 router (version 1.0.0.7) httpd service. Attacker must send crafted request manipulating 'entrys' parameter to /goform/addressNat endpoint. No victim interaction required. |
| Impact | This vulnerability presents significant real-world risk despite requiring authentication. The CVSS base score of 8.8 (High) reflects the complete compromise potential (C:H/I:H/A:H) with network-based attack vector (AV:N) and low complexity (AC:L). Critically, public exploit code exists on GitHub, substantially lowering the skill barrier for exploitation. The CVSS temporal modifier E:P (Proof-of-concept Exploit) confirms weaponization. While PR:L (Low privileges required) provides some mitigation, default or weak credentials on consumer routers are notoriously common, making this requirement a minimal barrier. The vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed large-scale active exploitation campaigns at analysis time, but the combination of public exploit availability, consumer device target, and complete system compromise potential creates high risk for individual device owners. Home/SOHO routers rarely receive security monitoring, allowing persistent compromise. SSVC framework assessment: Exploitation=POC, Automatable=Yes (once authenticated), Technical Impact=Total (router compromise enables network interception, DNS manipulation, botnet enrollment). Priority should be elevated for organizations using these devices in any capacity. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker identifies a Tenda F451 router exposed on a target network, either through internet scanning or by compromising a device on the local network. Using default credentials (admin/admin) or credentials obtained through phishing or previous compromise, the attacker authenticates to the router's web interface. They then send a specially crafted HTTP POST request to /goform/addressNat with an oversized 'entrys' parameter value designed to overflow the stack buffer in the fromAddressNat function. The overflow overwrites the return address on the stack, redirecting execution to attacker-controlled shellcode embedded in the request. With code execution achieved at the router's privilege level, the attacker installs persistent backdoor firmware, redirects DNS queries to malicious servers, or enrolls the device in a botnet for DDoS attacks. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 12, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda F451 router firmware 1.0.0.7 enables authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code with high privileges via crafted 'entrys' parameter to the /goform/addressNat endpoint. The vulnerability resides in the fromAddressNat function of the httpd component. Public exploit code is available (GitHub), with EPSS indicating moderate exploitation probability. Requires low-privilege authentication (PR:L) but has low attack complexity (AC:L), making it accessible to attackers with basic router credentials.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Tenda's official website (https://www.tenda.com.cn/) should be monitored for firmware updates addressing CVE-2026-6123. Immediate risk mitigation steps include: disable remote administration features to eliminate external attack surface, ensuring the vulnerability is only exploitable from the local network; change default administrative credentials to strong, unique passwords to raise the authentication barrier; implement network segmentation to isolate the vulnerable device from critical assets; consider replacing the device with alternative router models receiving active security support if Tenda does not release timely patches. For enterprise environments, these consumer devices should not be deployed in production networks.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability affects the httpd web server component in Tenda F451 wireless router firmware version 1.0.0.7 (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:tenda:f451). The flaw is a classic CWE-121 stack-based buffer overflow occurring in the fromAddressNat function when processing the Network Address Translation (NAT) configuration interface at /goform/addressNat. Stack-based buffer overflows occur when a program writes more data to a buffer on the call stack than it was allocated, overwriting adjacent memory including return addresses and function pointers. In embedded device web interfaces like this, input validation failures in CGI-style form handlers (goform endpoints) commonly lead to such memory corruption. The 'entrys' parameter likely accepts user-supplied NAT mapping entries without proper bounds checking before copying to a fixed-size stack buffer, allowing an attacker to overflow the buffer and control program execution flow.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was found in Tenda F451 1.0.0.7. This affects the function fromAddressNat of the file /goform/addressNat of the component httpd. Performing a manipulation of the argument entrys results in stack-based buffer overflow. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been made public and could be used.
Executive ViewAI
Tenda F451 routers running firmware 1.0.0.7 contain a high-severity stack buffer overflow that allows authenticated users with basic credentials to execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges. Organizations deploying this router model face immediate risk of complete device compromise and potential network lateral movement if credentials are compromised. Affected users must isolate devices or restrict access pending vendor remediation.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict network access to the /goform/addressNat endpoint using firewall rules; (2) Disable remote administration features on affected routers; (3) Enforce strong, unique credentials and monitor failed authentication attempts; (4) Implement network segmentation to isolate routers from critical infrastructure; (5) Monitor for indicators of compromise including unexpected administrative access logs and unusual outbound traffic from router.

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.
