Tenda F456 Router: Remote Buffer Overflow (CVE-2026-7056) Public Exploit
A critical buffer overflow vulnerability, identified as CVE-2026-7056, has been reported in the Tenda F456 router, version 1.0.0.5. According to the National Vulnerability Database, this flaw resides in the fromSafeUrlFilter function within the /goform/SafeUrlFilter component of the httpd service. Manipulation of the page argument can lead to the overflow.
The National Vulnerability Database highlights that this vulnerability carries a CVSSv3.1 score of 8.8 (High severity), indicating a significant risk. The attack can be performed remotely, and crucially, a public exploit is now available. This drastically lowers the barrier for attackers, making exploitation highly probable for unpatched devices.
For defenders, this means any Tenda F456 routers on your network are now exposed to remote compromise. Attackers can leverage this to gain control, disrupt services, or pivot deeper into the network. Given the public exploit, this isn’t a theoretical threat; it’s an immediate operational risk that needs urgent attention.
What This Means For You
- If your network includes Tenda F456 routers, specifically version 1.0.0.5, you are directly exposed to CVE-2026-7056. A public exploit exists. Isolate or remove these devices immediately if a patch is not available. Assume compromise if these devices are internet-facing and unpatched.
