CVE-2025-30256
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA denial of service vulnerability exists in the HTTP Header Parsing functionality of Tenda AC6 V5.0 V02.03.01.110. A specially crafted series of HTTP requests can lead to a reboot. An attacker can send multiple network packets to trigger this vulnerability.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the device modelLog into the Tenda router web interface or check the device label/marking to confirm the model is Tenda AC6Affected if Device is not a Tenda AC6, then not affected by this specific CVE
-
Check the firmware versionAccess the router's web administration page (typically at 192.168.0.1), navigate to System Settings or Firmware Upgrade section, and locate the firmware version informationAffected if Firmware version is 02.03.01.110 - this is the only affected version for this CVE
-
Verify HTTP service is accessibleAttempt to reach the router's web interface over HTTP (port 80) from the networkAffected if The router's HTTP management interface is exposed on the network - this is required for the attack vector
-
Confirm the specific vulnerability trigger conditionThis DoS is triggered by sending specially crafted HTTP header packets to the device. No special configuration needs to be enabled - the vulnerability exists in the HTTP service handlingAffected if The device is network-accessible via HTTP and meets the version criteria
You are affected if you have a Tenda AC6 router running firmware version 02.03.01.110 with its HTTP interface accessible on the network.
