Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
SI-2 requires timely remediation of identified flaws, directly addressing this stack-based buffer overflow by applying firmware patches from Tenda.
SI-10 enforces validation of inputs like the cmdinput argument, preventing buffer overflows by checking length and format before processing.
SI-16 provides memory protections such as stack guards and non-executable memory, blocking arbitrary code execution from the buffer overflow exploit.
Security SummaryAI
CVE-2025-15253 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability affecting the Tenda M3 router on firmware version 1.0.0.13(4903). The flaw exists in an unknown function of the /goform/exeCommand file, where manipulation of the cmdinput argument triggers the overflow. Published on 2025-12-30, 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) and maps to CWE-119 and CWE-121.
The vulnerability enables remote exploitation by low-privileged users (PR:L) over the network, requiring low complexity and no user interaction. Attackers can achieve high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution via the buffer overflow.
Advisories on VulDB (ctiid.338643, id.338643, submit.725498) document the issue, with an exploit publicly disclosed on GitHub at dwBruijn/CVEs/blob/main/Tenda/execCommand.md, which may be usable. The Tenda vendor site at tenda.com.cn should be consulted for any patches or mitigation guidance.
