Published: 22 December 2025
Summary
CVE-2025-15007 is a critical-severity Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) vulnerability in Tenda Wh450 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 44.2th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Threat & Defense at a Glance
Threat & Defense Details
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
Directly remediates the stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability by applying vendor firmware patches or updates to the Tenda WH450 router.
Enforces validation of the 'page' argument in HTTP requests to the /goform/L7Im endpoint, preventing the buffer overflow trigger.
Implements memory protections like stack canaries and address space layout randomization to mitigate exploitation of the stack-based buffer overflow even if triggered.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Remote unauthenticated stack-based buffer overflow in public-facing HTTP handler (/goform/L7Im) on Tenda WH450 router enables exploitation of public-facing application for potential code execution.

Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2025-15007 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability affecting the Tenda WH450 router running firmware version 1.0.0.18. The issue resides in an unknown functionality of the /goform/L7Im file within the HTTP Request Handler component, triggered by manipulation of the "page" argument. This flaw, associated with CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) and CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow), was published on 2025-12-22 and 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), indicating critical severity.
The vulnerability enables remote exploitation without authentication or user interaction. Attackers with network access can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable endpoint, causing a stack-based buffer overflow. Successful exploitation could result in high-impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability violations, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution, denial of service, or full device compromise.
References, including GitHub proof-of-concept disclosures and VulDB entries, detail the exploit but do not specify official patches or vendor mitigations. Security practitioners should isolate affected devices, monitor for anomalous HTTP requests to /goform/L7Im, and seek firmware updates from Tenda, as the public PoC increases the risk of widespread abuse.
