MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
T1499.004 Application or System Exploitation Impact
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities that can cause an application or system to crash and deny availability to users.
Why these techniques?

Stack-based buffer overflow in network-accessible router service directly enables remote unauthenticated exploitation causing endpoint DoS via application crash (T1499.004); also maps to exploiting public-facing application (T1190).

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-71021 is a stack overflow vulnerability affecting the Tenda AX-1806 router running firmware version 1.0.0.1. The flaw resides in the serverName parameter within the sub_65A28 function, which can be triggered by a specially crafted request to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. It is classified under CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow).

The vulnerability 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), indicating high severity due to its network accessibility, low attack complexity, lack of required privileges or user interaction, and high impact on availability with no impact on confidentiality or integrity. Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit it by sending a malicious request, potentially crashing the device and disrupting network services.
