CVE-2025-7914
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 vulnerability has been found in Tenda AC6 15.03.06.50 and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is the function setparentcontrolinfo of the component httpd. The manipulation leads to buffer overflow. The attack can be launched remotely.
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 · moderate confidenceA buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Tenda AC6 router firmware (v15.03.06.50) within the httpd web server's setparentcontrolinfo function, which handles parental control settings. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and allows manipulation of the function leading to buffer overflow, potentially enabling 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.
-
Confirm Tenda AC6 router modelLog into router admin interface or check device label to confirm model is Tenda AC6Affected if Device is not a Tenda AC6 router
-
Identify firmware versionIn router admin panel, look for System/Firmware version information, typically under Administration or System Settings. Alternatively, check via telnet/SSH if enabled or examine firmware binary file if available.Affected if Firmware version is 15.03.06.50 exactly
-
Verify httpd web server is runningCheck router processes via telnet/SSH login using 'ps' command to confirm httpd process is active, or access router web interface on port 80/443 to confirm web server respondsAffected if httpd process is running and web interface is accessible
-
Confirm parental control feature existsNavigate router admin interface to find Parental Control or Access Control settings menu to verify the feature is present in the firmwareAffected if Parental Control feature exists in the web interface
-
Check network exposure of admin interfaceDetermine if router admin web interface (port 80/443) is accessible from WAN/internet by testing external access or checking port forwarding/firewall rulesAffected if Web interface is exposed to untrusted networks (internet-accessible)
User is affected if running Tenda AC6 firmware version 15.03.06.50 with httpd running and parental control feature exposed to untrusted networks.

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 dataUpdate router firmware to a patched version once available; if no update exists, restrict network access to the router's web interface and consider replacing the device.
