Summary

CVE-2025-9007 is a high-severity Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) vulnerability in Tenda Ch22 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 7.4 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked in the top 49% 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-2025-9007 is a buffer overflow vulnerability in Tenda CH22 firmware version 1.0.0.1, specifically affecting the formeditFileName function handled by the /goform/editFileName endpoint. Published on 2025-08-15, the issue carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and maps to CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) and CWE-120 (Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input).

The vulnerability enables remote exploitation over the network by attackers possessing low privileges, such as authenticated users, with low attack complexity and no requirement for user interaction. Manipulation of the affected function triggers the buffer overflow, potentially allowing attackers to achieve high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, including arbitrary code execution.

Advisories and related details are available via VulDB entries (ctiid.320036, id.320036, submit.628867), a GitHub issue at github.com/moweizhang1994/cve/issues/3 disclosing the exploit, and the vendor site at tenda.com.cn. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be used by attackers.
