Published: 22 February 2026
Summary
CVE-2026-2910 is a high-severity Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) vulnerability in Tenda Hg9 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 35.7th 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-16 (Memory Protection).
Threat & Defense at a Glance
Threat & Defense Details
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
Directly remediates the stack-based buffer overflow flaw in Tenda HG9 firmware version 300001138 through timely patching or updates.
Requires validation of the pingAddr argument in /boaform/formPing6 to block malformed inputs causing the buffer overflow.
Provides memory protections like stack canaries and ASLR to detect and prevent exploitation of the stack-based buffer overflow.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Stack-based buffer overflow in router's web management interface (/boaform/formPing6) enables remote exploitation of a public-facing application (T1190) and privilege escalation to arbitrary code execution from low privileges (T1068).
NVD Description
A flaw has been found in Tenda HG9 300001138. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /boaform/formPing6. Executing a manipulation of the argument pingAddr can lead to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit…

Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2026-2910 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the Tenda HG9 router running firmware version 300001138. The flaw resides in unknown code within the /boaform/formPing6 file, where manipulation of the pingAddr argument triggers the overflow. It was published on 2026-02-22 and 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), linked to CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) and CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow).
The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by an attacker with low privileges (PR:L), requiring low attack complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation grants high-impact access to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution on the affected device.
