CVE-2026-7057 is a high-severity Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) vulnerability in Tenda F456 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 7.4 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 47th 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 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-2026-7057 is a buffer overflow vulnerability affecting Tenda F456 firmware version 1.0.0.5. The flaw resides in an unknown function within the /goform/setcfm file of the httpd component, triggered by manipulation of the funcname and funcpara1 arguments. Associated with CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) and CWE-120 (Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input), it has 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 high severity.
The vulnerability enables remote exploitation by attackers with low privileges (PR:L). Low attack complexity and no user interaction are required, allowing network-accessible adversaries to trigger the buffer overflow. Successful exploitation can result in high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution on the affected device.
Advisories and related resources, including a GitHub repository containing a published exploit at https://github.com/Litengzheng/vuldb_new/blob/main/F456/vul_128/README.md, detail the issue via VulDB entries (https://vuldb.com/vuln/359630, https://vuldb.com/submit/798459, https://vuldb.com/vuln/359630/cti). The vendor's site (https://www.tenda.com.cn/) is referenced, though specific patch details are not outlined in available descriptions. Security practitioners should monitor these for mitigation guidance.
Exploits have been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of real-world abuse against unpatched Tenda F456 devices.
