Threat & Defense Details
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
Directly mandates timely remediation of the known buffer overflow flaw in Tenda F456 firmware version 1.0.0.5 via patching or upgrades.
Requires validation of inputs like funcname and funcpara1 at the /goform/setcfm endpoint to prevent buffer overflows from improper restriction of operations within memory bounds.
Implements memory protections such as address space layout randomization and non-executable stacks to mitigate exploitation of the buffer overflow vulnerability.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Buffer overflow in public-facing httpd web interface (/goform/setcfm) on Tenda F456 firmware enables remote exploitation for arbitrary code execution with low privileges and no user interaction.
NVD Description
A flaw has been found in Tenda F456 1.0.0.5. The affected element is an unknown function of the file /goform/setcfm of the component httpd. This manipulation of the argument funcname/funcpara1 causes buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack…

Deeper analysisAI
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.
