CVE-2025-7806

8.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

A critical stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Tenda FH451 routers allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by manipulating the Go/page parameter in the fromSafeClientFilter function. This affects Tenda FH451 firmware version 1.0.0.9. Attackers can exploit this without authentication to potentially take full control of affected routers.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Tenda FH451
Versions: 1.0.0.9
Operating Systems: Embedded router firmware
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All devices running the vulnerable firmware version are affected. The vulnerable endpoint is accessible via web interface.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Remote code execution leading to complete device compromise, credential theft, network pivoting, and persistent backdoor installation.

🟠

Likely Case

Remote code execution allowing attackers to modify router settings, intercept traffic, or join the device to a botnet.

🟢

If Mitigated

Denial of service or limited information disclosure if exploit fails to achieve code execution.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication on internet-facing devices.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Still exploitable from internal networks but requires initial network access.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Public exploit details are available in GitHub repositories. The vulnerability requires sending specially crafted HTTP requests to the vulnerable endpoint.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: Not available

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Check Tenda website for firmware updates. 2. Download latest firmware for FH451. 3. Log into router admin interface. 4. Navigate to System Tools > Firmware Upgrade. 5. Upload and install new firmware. 6. Reboot router.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Disable remote management

all

Prevent external access to router administration interface

Network segmentation

all

Isolate router management interface to trusted network segments only

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Replace affected devices with supported models
  • Implement strict network access controls to limit exposure

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check router firmware version via admin interface at System Status > Firmware Version. If version is 1.0.0.9, device is vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check via web interface or SSH if enabled: cat /proc/version or show version commands

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version has changed from 1.0.0.9 to a newer version after update.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual HTTP POST requests to /goform/SafeClientFilter
  • Multiple failed buffer overflow attempts
  • Unexpected router reboots or configuration changes

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP traffic to router on port 80/443 with unusual parameter lengths
  • Suspicious requests containing buffer overflow patterns

SIEM Query:

source="router_logs" AND (url="/goform/SafeClientFilter" AND (param="Go" OR param="page")) AND size>1000
