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 | The attacker must be able to reach the router's HTTP administration interface and submit a POST request to /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan with an attacker-controlled wanSpeed parameter; per CVSS PR:N/UI:N no authentication or user interaction is required to reach the vulnerable code path. The realistic limiter is network reachability: the admin interface is LAN-only by default, so remote exploitation across the internet requires the operator to have enabled WAN-side remote management (or the attacker to already be on the LAN/Wi-Fi). Exploitation is constrained to Tenda AC7 hardware running firmware v15.03.06.44. |
| Impact | Raw signals point to high risk: CVSS 9.8 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N and a stack overflow yielding RCE on a perimeter device. However, EPSS and KEV status were not supplied in the input, so probabilistic and confirmed-exploitation data are unknown. In practice the network vector typically means LAN-side exploitation unless the WAN management interface is exposed - a common Tenda misconfiguration but not the default. The only reference is a third-party research URL with no vendor advisory, no patch version, and no public PoC identified at time of analysis, which suggests this is a researcher-disclosed flaw rather than a campaign-driven threat. Treat as high priority for affected fleets but recognize that real-world impact depends heavily on whether the admin interface is reachable from untrusted networks. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with network reachability to the router's HTTP admin interface - typically an attacker on the same LAN or Wi-Fi, or a remote attacker if WAN management is exposed - sends a crafted POST request to /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan with an oversized wanSpeed value, overflowing a stack buffer in the httpd process to overwrite the saved return address. Successful exploitation yields arbitrary code execution as root on the router, enabling traffic interception, DNS hijacking, or pivoting into the internal network. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the bug class is well-understood and trivially fuzzable. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 22, 2026
Remote code execution in Tenda AC7 routers (firmware v15.03.06.44) is possible via a stack buffer overflow in the wanSpeed parameter of the /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan endpoint. The CVSS 9.8 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates unauthenticated network-based exploitation with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the device is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - Tenda has not published an advisory in the provided data. Until a firmware update is released, restrict access to the router's web management interface by disabling remote (WAN-side) administration in the router settings, segmenting management access to a trusted VLAN, and ensuring the LAN-side admin password is strong to limit who can reach /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan; note that disabling remote admin prevents legitimate off-LAN management. Monitor Tenda's support portal for an updated firmware build superseding 15.03.06.44, and consider replacing end-of-support AC7 hardware if no fix materializes, since this product line has a long history of unpatched goform vulnerabilities.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Tenda AC7 is a SOHO-class AC1200 wireless router whose web management interface exposes goform/* CGI-style endpoints commonly implemented in the httpd binary on the device. CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow) indicates that the wanSpeed parameter is copied into a fixed-size stack buffer without bounds validation, overwriting the saved return address or function pointers - a recurring pattern across Tenda's MIPS-based firmware family that has produced dozens of analogous CVEs in /goform/* handlers. Exploitation typically yields code execution in the context of the web server process, which on these devices runs as root.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionNVD
In Tenda AC7 v15.03.06.44, the wanSpeed parameter of the route /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan has a stack buffer overflow vulnerability that can lead to remote arbitrary code execution.
Executive ViewAI
Tenda AC7 routers running firmware v15.03.06.44 are vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution accessible over the network, enabling complete device compromise and potential lateral network movement. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the critical CVSS 9.8 rating combined with absent vendor patches creates extended organizational exposure requiring immediate containment.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) isolate affected routers on dedicated network segments with ACLs blocking inbound access from untrusted networks, (2) disable remote management and WAN access to vulnerable endpoints, (3) deploy network-based intrusion detection targeting the /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan endpoint, (4) implement continuous configuration monitoring to detect unauthorized changes, (5) prioritize device replacement procurement as primary remediation path.

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.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
