Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

prevent

Remediates the buffer overflow vulnerability in the httpd /goform/NatStaticSetting endpoint by applying vendor firmware patches or updates.

prevent

Enforces validation of the 'page' argument to prevent buffer overflow exploitation in the fromNatStaticSetting function.

prevent

Deploys memory protections like ASLR and DEP to mitigate arbitrary code execution from buffer overflows in the httpd component.

Security SummaryAI

CVE-2026-3168 is a buffer overflow vulnerability affecting Tenda F453 firmware version 1.0.0.3. The issue resides in the fromNatStaticSetting function within the /goform/NatStaticSetting endpoint of the httpd component. It is triggered by manipulating the 'page' argument, leading to a buffer overflow condition classified under CWE-119 and CWE-120. The vulnerability 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 was published on 2026-02-25.

The vulnerability enables remote exploitation by an attacker with low privileges (PR:L), requiring low attack complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation can result in high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution on the affected device.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

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.
T1068 Exploitation for Privilege Escalation Privilege Escalation
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to elevate privileges.
Why these techniques?

Buffer overflow RCE in public-facing httpd web endpoint (/goform/NatStaticSetting) with low-priv remote trigger enables T1190 (Exploit Public-Facing Application) for initial access and T1068 (Exploitation for Privilege Escalation) to achieve arbitrary code execution.
