Summary
CVE-2026-4554 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Tenda F453 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Dynamic Linker Hijacking (T1574.006); ranked in the top 11% 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.
A security flaw has been discovered in Tenda F453 version 1.0.0.3. The affected element is the function FormWriteFacMac of the file /goform/WriteFacMac. The manipulation of the argument mac results in command injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks.
An attacker with low privileges can send a crafted request to the web interface over the network to execute arbitrary commands on the device. The vulnerability is tracked under CWE-74, CWE-77, and CWE-78, and carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 reflecting limited impact combined with network accessibility and low attack complexity.
The EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.0341 on 2026-03-26 shortly after disclosure before receding to 0.0023, indicating a temporary increase in exploitation interest. Public references include a detailed proof-of-concept on GitHub along with entries on VulDB, but no vendor advisory or patch information is provided in the available sources.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover command-construction flaws before deployment.
SI-10 directly requires validation of information inputs to reject malformed or special-element content before it reaches downstream parsers.
Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.
Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.
Secure engineering principles include proper neutralization and safe command construction practices.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.
Runtime monitoring of software and data can detect anomalous command execution resulting from injection.
Identifying recorded vulnerabilities enables remediation of command-injection flaws before exploitation.
Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).

Logging supports detection of injection attempts but does not prevent the weakness.
Monitoring activities can identify active injection attacks after they occur.
Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevent injection flaws.
Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection attacks in software design.
Secure architecture principles reduce injection surfaces but do not prescribe specific neutralization techniques.
Secure coding standards require proper neutralization of special elements, directly addressing CWE-74.
