Description
A vulnerability was detected in Tenda HG10 US_HG7_HG9_HG10re_300001138_en_xpon
Remediation
Apply vendor security updates immediately. Monitor for exploitation attempts and review access logs.
Executive Summary:
A high-severity vulnerability, identified as CVE-2026-1420 with a CVSS score of 8.8, has been discovered in multiple products from the vendor "flaw". This vulnerability could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code and gain complete control of an affected system. Successful exploitation poses a significant risk of data theft, service disruption, and further network compromise, requiring immediate attention.
Vulnerability Details
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-1420
Affected Software: flaw Multiple Products
Affected Versions: See vendor advisory for specific affected versions.
Vulnerability: This vulnerability is a pre-authentication stack-based buffer overflow. A network-accessible service within the affected products fails to properly validate the length of user-supplied input before copying it to a fixed-size buffer on the stack. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted network packet containing a malicious payload, triggering the overflow and allowing for the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected service.
Business Impact
This vulnerability is rated as High severity with a CVSS score of 8.8. A successful exploit could grant an attacker complete control over the compromised system, leading to severe business consequences. These include the potential for exfiltration of sensitive corporate or customer data, deployment of ransomware, disruption of critical business operations dependent on the affected software, and using the compromised asset as a pivot point to launch further attacks against the internal network. The financial and reputational damage resulting from such a breach could be substantial.
Remediation Plan
Immediate Action: Apply the security updates provided by the vendor immediately across all affected systems. Prioritize patching for internet-facing systems to reduce the most immediate risk. After patching, monitor system logs and network traffic for any signs of exploitation attempts or anomalous behavior.
Proactive Monitoring: Implement enhanced monitoring on affected systems. Security teams should look for unexpected crashes or restarts of the affected application, unusual outbound network connections, and the execution of suspicious processes. Utilize Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) with rulesets designed to detect and block traffic patterns associated with this vulnerability.
Compensating Controls: If immediate patching is not feasible, implement compensating controls to mitigate risk. Restrict network access to the vulnerable services to only trusted hosts and networks. Place affected systems behind a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) with virtual patching capabilities that can inspect and block malicious exploit traffic.
Exploitation Status
Public Exploit Available: false
Analyst Notes: As of January 26, 2026, there are no known public proof-of-concept exploits or active exploitation campaigns targeting this vulnerability. However, due to the high severity (CVSS 8.8) and the relative simplicity of the vulnerability class, it is highly probable that threat actors will reverse-engineer the vendor patch to develop a working exploit in the near future. Organizations should operate under the assumption that exploitation is imminent.
Analyst Recommendation
Given the high severity of this vulnerability, immediate and decisive action is required. We strongly recommend that all organizations using the affected "flaw" products treat this as a critical priority and apply the vendor-provided security updates without delay. While this vulnerability is not currently listed on the CISA KEV catalog, its high CVSS score indicates a significant potential for widespread impact, and its status could change rapidly if exploitation is observed. Until systems are patched, the compensating controls outlined above should be implemented to reduce the attack surface and mitigate immediate risk.
