CVE-2025-7418

8.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

A critical stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Tenda O3V2 routers allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by manipulating the destIP parameter in the fromPingResultGet function. This affects Tenda O3V2 routers running firmware version 1.0.0.12(3880) with the vulnerable httpd component exposed. Attackers can exploit this remotely without authentication to potentially take full control of affected devices.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Tenda O3V2
Versions: 1.0.0.12(3880)
Operating Systems: Embedded Linux (router firmware)
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects the httpd component which handles web interface requests. The vulnerability is in the /goform/setPing endpoint.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete device compromise leading to persistent backdoor installation, network traffic interception, lateral movement to other devices, and botnet recruitment.

🟠

Likely Case

Remote code execution allowing attackers to modify router settings, intercept traffic, or use the device as a pivot point for further attacks.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if device is behind strict network segmentation with no internet exposure and proper access controls.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is remotely exploitable via HTTP requests to the router's web interface, making internet-facing devices immediate targets.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal devices are still vulnerable to attackers who gain network access, but require initial foothold.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Proof of concept code is publicly available on GitHub, making exploitation straightforward for attackers with basic skills.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: Not available

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Check Tenda's official website for firmware updates. 2. If update available, download and install following vendor instructions. 3. Reboot router after update. 4. Verify firmware version is no longer 1.0.0.12(3880).

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Disable Remote Management

all

Prevent external access to router's web interface

Access router admin panel → Advanced Settings → Remote Management → Disable

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate router management interface from untrusted networks

Configure firewall rules to restrict access to router IP on ports 80/443 to trusted IPs only

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Replace affected devices with patched or different model routers
  • Implement strict network access controls and monitor for exploitation attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check router firmware version via admin interface: System Status → Firmware Version. If version is 1.0.0.12(3880), device is vulnerable.

Check Version:

curl -s http://router-ip/goform/getStatus | grep version or check web interface

Verify Fix Applied:

After update, verify firmware version is different from 1.0.0.12(3880) and test that /goform/setPing endpoint no longer accepts malformed destIP parameters.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • HTTP requests to /goform/setPing with unusually long destIP parameters
  • Multiple failed buffer overflow attempts in system logs
  • Unusual process execution from httpd

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP POST requests to router IP on port 80/443 with large destIP payloads
  • Unusual outbound connections from router after exploitation

SIEM Query:

source="router_logs" AND (url="/goform/setPing" AND destIP.length>100) OR (process="httpd" AND event="buffer_overflow")
