CVE-2026-7078: Tenda F456 Router Buffer Overflow Exposes Networks
The National Vulnerability Database has disclosed CVE-2026-7078, a high-severity buffer overflow vulnerability in the Tenda F456 router, specifically version 1.0.0.5. This flaw resides within the fromSetIpBind function of the /goform/SetIpBind component, accessible via the httpd service. Manipulation of the page argument can lead to remote code execution.
Rated with a CVSSv3.1 score of 8.8 (High), this vulnerability is critical because it allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger the buffer overflow. The exploit has been publicly released, meaning the window between disclosure and active exploitation is effectively zero. Attackers can leverage this to gain full control over affected devices, pivot into internal networks, and establish persistence.
This isn’t just about router compromise; it’s about network perimeter collapse. Tenda devices are common in SMBs and home offices. A compromised router becomes a launchpad for further attacks, data exfiltration, or even a botnet node. Defenders must assume that any unpatched Tenda F456 1.0.0.5 router is already compromised or will be soon.
What This Means For You
- If your organization or remote workforce uses Tenda F456 1.0.0.5 routers, you need to isolate and patch them immediately. If no patch is available, replace them. This is a critical perimeter vulnerability with public exploits. Assume compromise and hunt for abnormal outbound connections or unauthorized access attempts from these devices.
