CVE-2025-69762
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 · uneditedTenda AX3 firmware v16.03.12.11 contains a stack overflow in formSetIptv via the list parameter, which can cause memory corruption and enable remote code execution.
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.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceA stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Tenda AX3 firmware v16.03.12.11 within the formSetIptv web interface function. The 'list' parameter lacks proper bounds checking, allowing an attacker to overflow the stack buffer and overwrite return addresses, leading to arbitrary code execution.

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 Tenda AX3 firmware versionLog into the router web management interface and navigate to System Settings > Firmware Upgrade, or check the device label/sticker. Alternatively, access the device via telnet/SSH if available and check /etc/version or use 'cat /proc/firmware_info' or similar commands provided by the firmware.Affected if The installed firmware version is exactly 16.03.12.11
-
Confirm device is a Tenda AX3Verify the model number through the router web interface (usually on the status page or System Settings > Device Info), or physically inspect the device label.Affected if The device model is Tenda AX3 and firmware is 16.03.12.11
-
Check if web management interface is enabledAccess the router at its default IP (commonly 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) via HTTP/HTTPS. Verify you can reach the login page. Check System Settings > System Management or similar for 'Remote Management' or 'Web Management' settings.Affected if The web interface is accessible and responds to requests
-
Verify IPTV feature availabilityIn the router web interface, look for IPTV or Multicast settings, typically under Advanced Settings, Network, or WAN settings. The vulnerable function formSetIptv handles IPTV configuration.Affected if IPTV or multicast settings are present and configurable in the web interface
A user is affected if they are running Tenda AX3 firmware version 16.03.12.11 and have the web management interface accessible, regardless of IPTV feature configuration since the vulnerable formSetIptv function is exposed through the web interface.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply vendor firmware updates when available; until then, restrict administrative web interface access to trusted networks or disable remote management to reduce attack surface.
