Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2025-29357 is a high-severity Improper Resource Shutdown or Release (CWE-404) vulnerability in Tenda Rx3 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 41th 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 map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SA-8 (Security and Privacy Engineering Principles) — 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-2025-29357 is a buffer overflow vulnerability affecting the Tenda RX3 router on firmware version US_RX3V1.0br_V16.03.13.11_multi_TDE01. The issue resides in the /goform/SetPptpServerCfg endpoint, where the startIp and endIp parameters can trigger the overflow. Published on 2025-03-13, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) and maps to CWE-404.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. By sending a specially crafted packet to the vulnerable endpoint, they can cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) that disrupts router availability.
A reference document detailing the vulnerability is available at https://github.com/2664521593/mycve/blob/main/Tenda/RX3/tenda_rx3_bof_4.pdf.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect resource releases after code is written.
Engineering principles can require explicit resource acquisition/release patterns that stop improper shutdown from being introduced.
Priority-based resource allocation limits the blast radius when released resources are not returned to the pool.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly include coding standards for correct resource allocation and release.
Runtime monitoring can detect resource exhaustion caused by improper shutdown or release.
Lifecycle management of assets can encompass proper resource release at end-of-life or shutdown.
Capacity management helps surface leaks from unreleased resources but does not prevent the coding flaw.

Including restart, recovery and media-handling instructions reduces the likelihood that resources or sensitive data will be left in an exposed or improperly released state after a failure.
