CVE-2025-67073

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

A buffer overflow vulnerability in Tenda AC10V4.0 routers allows remote attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted POST request to the /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan endpoint. This affects users of Tenda AC10V4.0 routers with firmware version V16.03.10.20.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Tenda AC10V4.0
Versions: V16.03.10.20
Operating Systems: Embedded Linux (router firmware)
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: The vulnerable HTTP daemon runs by default on port 80. No special configuration is required for exploitation.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Remote code execution leading to complete device compromise, network infiltration, and persistent backdoor installation.

🟠

Likely Case

Denial of service causing router crashes and network disruption, with potential for limited code execution.

🟢

If Mitigated

Network segmentation and proper firewall rules prevent exploitation attempts from reaching vulnerable devices.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Routers are typically internet-facing devices, making them directly accessible to attackers.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - If routers are behind other network security controls, risk is reduced but still present for internal attackers.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

The GitHub reference contains technical details and proof-of-concept code. Exploitation requires sending a single HTTP POST request with crafted payload.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: Unknown

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

Check Tenda's official website for firmware updates. If available, download and install the latest firmware through the router's web interface.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Block HTTP Access

linux

Block external access to router's web interface on port 80

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP

Disable Remote Management

all

Disable remote administration in router settings

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Segment router management interface to internal network only
  • Implement WAF rules to block requests to /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check router firmware version in web interface. If version is V16.03.10.20, device is vulnerable.

Check Version:

curl -s http://router-ip/ | grep -i firmware

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version has been updated to a version later than V16.03.10.20

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • HTTP POST requests to /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan with unusual payload lengths
  • Router crash/restart logs

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP traffic to router port 80 with POST requests containing crafted serviceName field

SIEM Query:

source="router_logs" AND (url="/goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan" OR message="crash" OR message="restart")
