Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires authenticated access to the Tenda F456 web management interface with low-privilege credentials (PR:L in CVSS vector). Specific conditions: (1) Attacker must successfully authenticate to the router's httpd service on TCP port 80 or 443 - this can be default credentials, compromised credentials, or any valid user account with access to wireless configuration features. (2) The /goform/WrlExtraSet endpoint must be accessible to the authenticated session, which is typically enabled by default in Tenda router firmware for wireless settings management. (3) No special wireless configuration or non-default settings required - the vulnerable function is part of standard wireless extra settings functionality. Exploitation is LIMITED by: Router must be network-accessible to attacker (LAN access or Internet-facing management interface). If remote management is disabled on WAN interface (common security practice), attack surface reduces to LAN-based adversaries only. Authentication requirement (PR:L) prevents drive-by exploitation, though Tenda routers commonly ship with default admin/admin credentials that remain unchanged in many deployments.

Impact

Real-world risk is MODERATE-HIGH for exposed Tenda F456 routers with default or weak credentials. CVSS v4.0 vector indicates network-accessible exploitation (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), requiring only low-privilege authentication (PR:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). Impact is severe with High ratings across Vulnerable System Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H), though no Subsequent System impact (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N), indicating the compromise is contained to the router itself. The E:P (Exploit Maturity: Proof-of-Concept) designation aligns with the publicly available GitHub exploit code, confirming weaponization feasibility. However, exploitation is LIMITED by two critical factors: (1) requires authenticated access, reducing attack surface compared to unauthenticated RCE, and (2) targets a specific legacy router model (F456 v1.0.0.5) with likely small deployment footprint. No CISA KEV listing suggests targeted rather than widespread exploitation. EPSS data not provided, but similar router CVEs with public POCs typically score 0.02-0.15 (2-15% exploitation probability). Primary risk is to SOHO/residential networks where Tenda F456 remains in service with weak credentials and Internet-facing management interfaces.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

Attacker obtains low-privilege credentials for Tenda F456 router through credential stuffing attack using leaked password databases or by exploiting default credentials (admin/admin). From any Internet-connected location, attacker sends crafted HTTP POST request to http://[router_IP]/goform/WrlExtraSet with oversized 'Go' parameter value exceeding buffer bounds. The formWrlExtraSet function copies attacker-controlled data without length validation, overwriting stack memory and hijacking execution flow. Attacker achieves arbitrary code execution in httpd process context (typically root on embedded routers), enabling firmware modification, credential harvesting, DNS hijacking for man-in-the-middle attacks, or integration into IoT botnet. Public GitHub POC (Litengzheng/vuldb_new) provides working exploit template, lowering skill barrier to script-kiddie level.

AnalysisAIv1 – Apr 27, 2026

Remote authenticated buffer overflow in Tenda F456 1.0.0.5 httpd allows attackers to compromise router integrity and availability via crafted WrlExtraSet requests. Exploitation occurs through the formWrlExtraSet function when manipulating the 'Go' parameter at /goform/WrlExtraSet endpoint. Public exploit code is available on GitHub (Litengzheng/vuldb_new), enabling straightforward weaponization. CVSS 7.4 (High) with CVSS v4.0 Exploit Maturity: Proof-of-Concept confirms exploitability. While requiring low-privilege authentication (PR:L), the network attack vector (AV:N) and low complexity (AC:L) make this accessible to remote attackers with basic router credentials, commonly obtained via credential stuffing or default password exploitation.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch or firmware update identified in available sources at time of analysis. Tenda's official website (https://www.tenda.com.cn/) should be monitored for security bulletins, though the vendor's historical patching cadence for legacy models is inconsistent. Immediate compensating controls: (1) Disable remote management access via WAN interface (typically under Administration → Remote Management settings - disabling prevents Internet-based exploitation while retaining LAN-based management). This eliminates network attack vector but breaks legitimate remote administration. (2) Change default admin credentials to complex passwords (16+ characters) and restrict management interface access to specific trusted LAN IP addresses via router ACLs if supported. This raises the authentication bar (PR:L) but does not eliminate risk from LAN-based attackers or credential theft. (3) Place router behind additional firewall layer and disable UPnP to prevent exposure of management ports. (4) For high-security environments, replace affected Tenda F456 devices with actively maintained router models from vendors with established security update programs. Migration costs include hardware replacement (~$50-200 per device) and reconfiguration time but eliminates exposure to this and potential future unpatched vulnerabilities in EOL firmware.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability affects the httpd daemon in Tenda F456 router firmware version 1.0.0.5, specifically within the wireless configuration interface. The formWrlExtraSet function handles wireless extra settings via the /goform/WrlExtraSet endpoint but fails to properly validate the length of the 'Go' parameter before copying it to a fixed-size buffer. This is a classic CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within Bounds of Memory Buffer) memory corruption issue. In embedded router httpd implementations, such buffer overflows can overwrite stack frames, function pointers, or adjacent configuration data. Tenda routers typically run lightweight Linux-based firmware with minimal memory protection mechanisms like ASLR or stack canaries, making exploitation more reliable. The affected component is part of the router's web management interface, which listens on TCP ports 80/443 by default.

Executing a manipulation of the argument Go can lead to buffer overflow. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2026-7082 is a remote buffer overflow in Tenda F456 routers (version 1.0.0.5) that allows authenticated attackers to crash or compromise router functionality through crafted requests to the WrlExtraSet endpoint. This vulnerability directly threatens network infrastructure availability and integrity for organizations relying on affected Tenda routers, particularly since the router's default or weak credentials are commonly compromised in credential-based attacks.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Implement network access controls restricting traffic to /goform/WrlExtraSet endpoint to administrative IPs only via firewall or WAF rules; (2) Enforce mandatory credential rotation with strong passwords on all Tenda F456 devices to reduce likelihood of authenticated exploitation; (3) Monitor router logs and network traffic for suspicious WrlExtraSet requests; (4) Place affected routers behind additional network segmentation to limit blast radius if compromise occurs.

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.
