Threat & Defense Details
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
Requires validation of the 'page' argument in the /goform/webExcptypemanFilter endpoint to prevent stack-based buffer overflows from improper input handling.
Mandates timely remediation of the identified buffer overflow flaw in Tenda F453 firmware version 1.0.0.3 via patching or updates.
Implements memory protection mechanisms like stack canaries and non-executable stacks to mitigate exploitation of stack-based buffer overflows.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Stack-based buffer overflow in public-facing web management interface (/goform/webExcptypemanFilter) of Tenda F453 router firmware enables remote code execution for authenticated users, directly mapping to exploitation of public-facing applications.
NVD Description
A vulnerability has been found in Tenda F453 1.0.0.3. This affects the function fromwebExcptypemanFilter of the file /goform/webExcptypemanFilter. The manipulation of the argument page leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed…

Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2026-3726 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CWE-119, CWE-121) in Tenda F453 firmware version 1.0.0.3. The flaw affects the fromwebExcptypemanFilter function in the /goform/webExcptypemanFilter file, where manipulation of the "page" argument triggers the overflow. Published on 2026-03-08, it 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).
The vulnerability enables remote exploitation over the network by attackers with low privileges, such as authenticated users, requiring low attack complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation can result in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution. A public exploit disclosure exists and may be actively used.
