CVE-2025-10432 is a high-severity Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) vulnerability in Tenda Ac1206 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 8.9 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked in the top 29% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-10432 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability affecting the Tenda AC1206 router on firmware version 15.03.06.23. The flaw exists in the check_param_changed function within the /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWa file of the HTTP Request Handler component. Attackers can trigger the overflow by manipulating the wanMTU argument during an HTTP request.
The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), making it critically severe. Remote, unauthenticated attackers with network access can exploit it without user interaction, potentially achieving full compromise including arbitrary code execution, data theft, or denial of service. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available, enabling straightforward remote exploitation.
Advisories documented on VulDB (ctiid.323866, id.323866, submit.647527) detail the issue and reference the exploit. A proof-of-concept is hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/M4st3rYi/IoTVulPocs/blob/main/Tenda/AC1206/fromAdvSetMacMtuWan.md. Practitioners should monitor the vendor site at https://www.tenda.com.cn/ for firmware updates or mitigation recommendations. The vulnerability maps to CWEs 119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) and 121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and analysis can discover stack-buffer overflows before deployment.
Input validation directly stops untrusted data from exceeding stack buffer bounds.
Memory-protection mechanisms limit the ability to execute injected code after a stack overflow.
Secure engineering principles require memory-safe design and coding that structurally avoids buffer-boundary violations.
