Summary
CVE-2026-6136 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 39% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
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-2026-6136 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the Tenda F451 router firmware version 1.0.0.7_cn_svn7958. The flaw affects the frmL7ImForm function in the /goform/L7Im file, triggered by manipulation of the "page" argument. Associated with CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) and CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow), it was published on 2026-04-13 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).
An attacker with low privileges can exploit this vulnerability remotely with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation allows high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially enabling arbitrary code execution on the affected device. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be actively used.
Mitigation guidance and additional details are available in vendor and third-party advisories, including VulDB entries at https://vuldb.com/vuln/357000 and https://vuldb.com/vuln/357000/cti, a GitHub issue at https://github.com/Jimi-Lab/cve/issues/21, and the Tenda website at https://www.tenda.com.cn/. Security practitioners should consult these references for patching or workaround instructions.

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.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
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.
