Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-46035 is a remotely reachable buffer overflow reported in Tenda AC6 firmware v15.03.05.16. An unauthenticated attacker can send oversized schedule Wi-Fi parameters to the router’s web interface. The CVE description says denial of service, while its CVSS vector lists high confidentiality impact, so impact evidence is inconsistent.
Executive priority
Treat this as high priority for internet-exposed or unmanaged branch routers. The remediation path is not fully documented in the supplied sources, so prioritize exposure reduction and vendor confirmation before broader conclusions.
Technical view
The CVE identifies CWE-120 in the Tenda AC6 v15.03.05.16 /goform/openSchedWifi handler. Oversized schedStartTime and schedEndTime values in an unauthenticated HTTP GET request can trigger the flaw. Official affected-product metadata is listed as n/a, but the title and description name Tenda AC6 v15.03.05.16.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely where Tenda AC6 v15.03.05.16 web management is reachable from untrusted networks. Internet-facing or broadly accessible router administration interfaces are the primary concern. The provided CVE metadata does not identify additional affected models or firmware versions.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation. A public GitHub technical reference is cited, which may lower attacker research effort. No cited source confirms in-the-wild exploitation or a vendor patch.
Researcher notes
Key evidence gaps are incomplete CNA affected-product metadata, no cited vendor advisory, no named fixed version, and an impact mismatch between the denial-of-service description and CVSS confidentiality impact. Keep analysis bounded to Tenda AC6 v15.03.05.16 unless further sources expand scope.
Mitigation direction
- Check Tenda guidance for patched firmware or official mitigation.
- Disable remote administration if it is not required.
- Restrict management access to trusted admin networks or VPN.
- Block internet access to the router web interface.
- Replace or isolate devices if no maintained firmware is available.
Validation and detection
- Inventory Tenda AC6 devices and firmware versions.
- Identify any device running v15.03.05.16.
- Confirm router management is not exposed to untrusted networks.
- Review logs for unusual requests to /goform/openSchedWifi.
- Track CVE and vendor updates for corrected affected-product data.
