Description

Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities that can cause an application or system to crash and deny availability to users.

Security Summary

CVE-2025-1896 is a critical buffer overflow vulnerability affecting the Tenda TX3 router on firmware version 16.03.13.11_multi. The flaw exists in unknown code within the /goform/SetStaticRouteCfg file, where manipulation of the argument list triggers the overflow. Published on 2025-03-04, it is 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).

The vulnerability enables remote exploitation over the network with low complexity and no user interaction. Attackers require low privileges (PR:L), such as those of an authenticated user, to initiate the attack. Exploitation leads to high availability impact (A:H) with no confidentiality or integrity effects, as reflected in its CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), potentially resulting in denial of service.

Advisories and details are documented on VulDB (https://vuldb.com/?ctiid.298414, https://vuldb.com/?id.298414, https://vuldb.com/?submit.506602), with a public exploit disclosure available in a GitHub PDF (https://github.com/2664521593/mycve/blob/main/Tenda/TX3/tenda_tx3_bof_2.pdf).

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Techniques

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
T1499.004 Application or System Exploitation Impact
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities that can cause an application or system to crash and deny availability to users.
Why these techniques?

Buffer overflow in public-facing web form (/goform/SetStaticRouteCfg) on network device enables remote exploitation (T1190) leading to DoS via application/system crash (T1499.004).
