Summary
CVE-2026-3679 is a high-severity Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) vulnerability in Tenda F451 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 7.4 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Compromise Infrastructure (T1584); ranked in the top 36% 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.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-3679 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability affecting the Tenda FH451 router on firmware version 1.0.0.9. The flaw exists in the formQuickIndex function within the /goform/QuickIndex file, where manipulation of the mit_linktype/PPPOEPassword argument triggers the overflow. It is classified under CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) and CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow).
The vulnerability 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), indicating it is exploitable remotely over the network with low attack complexity by users possessing low privileges, without requiring user interaction and with unchanged scope. Successful exploitation could result in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution on the affected device.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and analysis can discover stack-buffer overflows before deployment.
Input validation directly stops untrusted data from exceeding stack buffer bounds.
Memory-protection mechanisms limit the ability to execute injected code after a stack overflow.
Secure engineering principles require memory-safe design and coding that structurally avoids buffer-boundary violations.

Security testing in development catches out-of-bounds accesses before release, covering most instances of the weakness.
Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe buffer operations, directly eliminating CWE-119.
