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 | Requires authenticated access to the Tenda FH1202 web management interface - attacker must possess valid administrative credentials (username/password). The router's HTTP/HTTPS management interface must be network-accessible to the attacker, whether exposed to the internet via remote administration features or accessible from a compromised internal network position. The vulnerability exists in the default configuration of firmware 1.2.0.14 with no special features requiring enablement. Attack complexity is low (AC:L) with no additional timing or race condition requirements (AT:N). Exploitation is NOT limited by user interaction (UI:N) beyond the initial authentication step. Key limiting factor is the low-privilege authentication requirement (PR:L), meaning the attack is not remotely executable against default configurations without first obtaining credentials through brute force, credential stuffing, social engineering, or exploiting a separate authentication bypass vulnerability. The vulnerability does not require specific wireless configurations or client connections - it affects the wired/wireless management interface itself. |
| Impact | Real-world risk is moderate-to-high despite requiring authentication. CVSS 4.0 score of 7.4 reflects network-based attack vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), low privilege requirement (PR:L), and high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H). The authentication requirement (PR:L) provides some friction, but consumer routers often use weak default credentials or credentials discoverable through other vulnerabilities, reducing this barrier in practice. The publicly available POC exploit from Litengzheng on GitHub significantly lowers the skill threshold for exploitation. The attack is automatable once credentials are obtained (AC:L/AT:N), making it suitable for mass scanning campaigns targeting exposed router management interfaces. However, no CISA KEV listing suggests exploitation is not yet widespread in the wild, and EPSS data is unavailable for comparison. The vulnerability's scope is unchanged (SC:N), limiting lateral movement potential. Primary risk is to organizations exposing router admin interfaces to untrusted networks or using weak authentication. Missing data: EPSS probability score, vendor acknowledgment, and confirmation of whether firmware 1.2.0.14 is current or end-of-life. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker scans internet-facing IP ranges for Tenda FH1202 routers with exposed web management interfaces on port 80 or 443. Using credential stuffing attacks with common default passwords (admin/admin) or credentials leaked from other breaches, the attacker authenticates to the router's web interface. They craft an HTTP POST request to /goform/WrlclientSet containing an oversized 'Go' parameter value designed to overflow the stack buffer in fromWrlclientSet. The overflow overwrites the function's return address with the location of attacker-supplied shellcode embedded in the request, achieving arbitrary code execution with root privileges. The attacker establishes persistence by modifying router configuration to beacon to a command-and-control server, then pivots to internal network reconnaissance or deploys the router as a proxy node in a botnet. The public POC code (https://github.com/Litengzheng/vuldb_new/blob/main/FH1202/vul_20/README.md) provides ready-made exploit tooling, lowering technical barriers significantly. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv2 – Apr 26, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda FH1202 router firmware 1.2.0.14 allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted HTTP requests to the /goform/WrlclientSet endpoint. The vulnerability resides in the fromWrlclientSet function of the httpd component, triggered by malicious 'Go' parameter input. Publicly available proof-of-concept exploit code increases immediate exploitation risk for exposed devices. EPSS data not provided, but public POC and low attack complexity (AC:L) indicate elevated real-world risk despite authentication requirement (PR:L).
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda FH1202 router firmware version 1.2.0.14 allows authenticated remote attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution with high integrity impact. The vulnerability resides in the fromWrlclientSet function within the httpd service's /goform/WrlclientSet handler, triggered by manipulating the 'Go' parameter. Public exploit code demonstrates the attack, though no active exploitation has been confirmed by CISA KEV. Authentication is required (PR:L), limiting immediate internet-wide exploitation risk despite the network-accessible attack vector.
RemediationAI
Check Tenda's official support portal (https://www.tenda.com.cn/) for firmware updates addressing CVE-2026-7035, though no vendor-released patch is confirmed in available data as of this analysis. If updated firmware becomes available, upgrade immediately following manufacturer instructions and verify the new version number differs from 1.2.0.14. As immediate compensating controls: (1) Restrict access to the router's web management interface by disabling remote administration features entirely if not required - this eliminates the network attack vector for most deployments; (2) If remote management is necessary, implement firewall rules or VPN access requirements so only trusted IP ranges can reach the web interface on ports 80/443; (3) Change default administrative credentials to strong, unique passwords (16+ characters) to raise the authentication barrier, though this only delays exploitation rather than preventing it; (4) Monitor router logs for unusual /goform/ POST requests or unexpected reboots indicating exploitation attempts. Note that disabling remote management may impact legitimate remote support workflows, and credential changes must be coordinated with all authorized administrators. These mitigations reduce attack surface but do not eliminate the underlying vulnerability - patching remains the definitive solution once available.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability affects the httpd web server component in Tenda FH1202 wireless router firmware version 1.2.0.14 (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:tenda:fh1202:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The flaw is a CWE-121 stack-based buffer overflow in the fromWrlclientSet function handling the /goform/WrlclientSet endpoint. When processing HTTP requests, the function fails to properly validate the length of the 'Go' parameter before copying it to a fixed-size stack buffer. This classic memory corruption vulnerability allows an attacker to overwrite adjacent stack memory, including return addresses and function pointers, enabling control of program execution flow. Stack-based overflows in embedded device web interfaces are particularly dangerous because they often run with root privileges and lack modern exploit mitigations like ASLR or stack canaries common in general-purpose operating systems.

A vulnerability was determined in Tenda FH1202 1.2.0.14. This affects the function fromWrlclientSet of the file /goform/WrlclientSet of the component httpd. Executing a manipulation of the argument Go can lead to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-7035 is a stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda FH1202 router firmware version 1.2.0.14 that allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary code, potentially giving attackers full control of network infrastructure and access to all connected devices. With publicly available exploit code and no vendor patch available, organizations running this router model face immediate risk of compromise if user accounts are exposed or if internal network access is not properly segmented.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict administrative access to the router via IP whitelisting and strong authentication; (2) Disable or restrict external access to the /goform/WrlclientSet endpoint via firewall rules; (3) Monitor network traffic for suspicious HTTP requests to affected endpoints; (4) Segment affected routers on isolated VLANs to limit lateral movement if compromise occurs; (5) Monitor for firmware updates from Tenda and apply immediately when available.
