Exploitability
| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-119 | The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data. |
| CWE-121 | A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2026-3802 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability found in the Tenda i3 router, version 1.0.0.6(2204). It exists in the function formexeCommand within the /goform/exeCommand endpoint. The vulnerability occurs because the cmdinput parameter is not properly validated for length, allowing an attacker to send a specially crafted HTTP POST request with an excessively long cmdinput value.
This buffer overflow can cause the device to behave unexpectedly, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service on the affected router.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to serious impacts including arbitrary code execution and denial of service on the affected Tenda i3 router.
- Arbitrary code execution could allow an attacker to take control of the device remotely.
- Denial of service could disrupt network connectivity by crashing or destabilizing the router.
Since the vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, it poses a high risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the device and potentially the network it supports.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:

How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'This vulnerability can be detected by sending a crafted HTTP POST request to the /goform/exeCommand endpoint of the Tenda i3 router, specifically targeting the cmdinput parameter with an excessively long payload to trigger the buffer overflow.'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'A detection command example involves using curl to send a POST request with a large cmdinput value to test for the vulnerability:'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': 'curl -X POST http://<router-ip>/goform/exeCommand -d "cmdinput=$(python3 -c \'print("A"*1000)\')"'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'Replace <router-ip> with the IP address of the target device. If the device is vulnerable, this request may cause a crash or unexpected behavior indicating the buffer overflow.'}] [1, 2, 3]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Currently, no known countermeasures or mitigations have been identified for this vulnerability.
The recommended immediate step is to replace the affected Tenda i3 device with an alternative product to avoid exploitation.
Additionally, restricting remote access to the device and monitoring for suspicious POST requests to /goform/exeCommand may help reduce exposure until replacement.
