Exploitation Conditions

Attacker must possess valid administrative credentials for the Tenda 4G300 web management interface - exploitation requires authenticated access (CVSS PR:L). The vulnerable /goform/SafeMacFilter endpoint is part of the standard web administration interface and requires no special feature enablement beyond default configuration. Once authenticated, no user interaction is required (CVSS UI:N) to trigger the buffer overflow via crafted HTTP requests. The vulnerability is exploitable against any Tenda 4G300 router running firmware version US_4G300V1.0Mt_V1.01.42_CN_TDC01 with web management enabled (default configuration). Limiting factors: authentication requirement reduces attack surface compared to unauthenticated RCE, though weak/default credentials are common in consumer routers; network accessibility depends on whether remote administration is enabled on WAN interface or device is LAN-only accessible; stack protection mechanisms (ASLR, DEP, stack canaries) are typically absent or weak in embedded device firmware, facilitating reliable exploitation once memory layout is known.

Impact

Real-world risk is MODERATE-to-HIGH for environments using this specific Tenda router model. The CVSS base score of 7.4 accurately reflects the technical severity - complete device compromise (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) with network attack vector. However, exploitation requires authenticated access (PR:L), meaning attackers need valid router credentials before triggering the overflow. The existence of public exploit code (GitHub PoC, VulDB reference vuln/360206) significantly lowers the skill barrier, enabling script-kiddie exploitation against routers with weak/default credentials. Attack complexity is low (AC:L) - once authenticated, triggering the overflow requires only a malformed HTTP request to a documented endpoint. No EPSS score or CISA KEV status is provided in the data, suggesting limited evidence of widespread automated scanning or active exploitation campaigns as of this analysis. The primary attack vector is credential-based compromise (brute force, default passwords, credential stuffing) followed by privilege escalation via buffer overflow. Organizations using Tenda 4G300 routers should prioritize this based on: (1) whether devices are internet-facing, (2) strength of administrative passwords, and (3) availability of vendor patches. Consumer/SOHO routers rarely receive timely security updates, making replacement often more viable than remediation.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker discovers a Tenda 4G300 router exposed on the internet via Shodan scanning, identifying it by HTTP banner fingerprinting or default login page characteristics. Using credential stuffing attacks with common default passwords (admin/admin) or brute-forcing weak credentials, the attacker gains authenticated access to the web management interface. Once authenticated, the attacker leverages the public GitHub exploit code (Axelioc/CVE) to send a crafted HTTP POST request to /goform/SafeMacFilter with an oversized 'page' parameter value. This triggers the stack-based buffer overflow in function sub_427C3C, overwriting the return address to redirect execution to attacker-controlled shellcode embedded in the request. The shellcode executes with router firmware privileges, establishing persistent backdoor access via modified firewall rules or installing a remote access trojan, enabling ongoing network surveillance and lateral movement within the victim's internal network.

AnalysisAIv1 – Apr 30, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda 4G300 US_4G300V1.0Mt_V1.01.42_CN_TDC01 allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges via crafted SafeMacFilter requests. The vulnerability resides in function sub_427C3C at endpoint /goform/SafeMacFilter, where insufficient input validation of the 'page' parameter enables memory corruption. Public exploit code exists on GitHub (Axelioc/CVE), significantly lowering the barrier to exploitation for attackers with valid router credentials. CVSS 7.4 reflects high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact requiring only low-privilege authentication.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis for firmware version US_4G300V1.0Mt_V1.01.42_CN_TDC01. Check Tenda's official support site (https://www.tenda.com.cn/) for newer firmware releases that may address this vulnerability, though consumer router vendors often do not provide CVE-specific patch notes. Immediate compensating controls: (1) Disable remote administration on WAN interface - restrict web management access to LAN-side clients only, eliminating internet-based attack surface (trade-off: no remote management capability); (2) Change default administrative credentials to strong unique passwords (16+ characters, mixed case, numbers, symbols) to prevent credential-based initial access; (3) Implement network segmentation - place Tenda device on isolated VLAN if used in enterprise environment, preventing pivot to critical assets post-compromise; (4) Monitor for unauthorized login attempts and configuration changes in router logs. Long-term recommendation: Replace Tenda 4G300 with actively maintained router models from vendors with established security update programs, as this device appears to be end-of-life with no security support. For SOHO deployments, consumer-grade alternatives with automatic update mechanisms provide better ongoing security posture.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability affects the Tenda 4G300 wireless router (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:tenda:4g300), specifically firmware version US_4G300V1.0Mt_V1.01.42_CN_TDC01. The flaw is a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) in the web management interface's MAC address filtering functionality. The vulnerable function sub_427C3C processes HTTP POST requests to /goform/SafeMacFilter without proper bounds checking on the 'page' parameter, allowing an attacker to write arbitrary data beyond allocated stack buffer boundaries. This is a classic stack overflow condition where unvalidated user input directly overwrites adjacent memory regions, potentially including return addresses and function pointers. Embedded device web interfaces written in C/C++ are particularly susceptible to such memory safety issues when handling CGI parameters. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L) indicates network-accessible exploitation with low attack complexity once authenticated, while the E:P modifier confirms proof-of-concept exploit code exists.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2026-7470 is a stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda 4G300 routers (firmware version US_4G300V1.0Mt_V1.01.42_CN_TDC01) that allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. Organizations deploying this router model face immediate risk of complete device compromise and network lateral movement, particularly since exploit code is publicly available on GitHub. This vulnerability requires urgent inventory assessment and isolation planning, as no vendor patch is currently available.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict administrative access to the router's web interface via firewall rules and network segmentation; (2) Disable remote management features and enforce access only from trusted internal networks; (3) Monitor authentication logs for failed or suspicious login attempts; (4) Implement intrusion detection rules targeting exploitation of /goform/SafeMacFilter endpoint with suspicious 'page' parameters; (5) Ensure router operates behind a properly configured firewall with egress filtering to limit lateral movement if compromised.

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.
