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 · unedited
A vulnerability was found in Tenda HG7HG9 and HG10 300001138_en_xpon. Affected by this issue is the function asp_voip_OtherSet of the file /boaform/voip_other_set of the component Web Management Interface. Performing a manipulation of the argument funckey_transfer results in stack-based buffer overflow. The attack is possible to be carried out 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 confidence
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Tenda HG7, HG9, and HG10 GPON router web management interface. The asp_voip_OtherSet function in /boaform/voip_other_set fails to properly validate the length of the funckey_transfer parameter before copying it to a stack-allocated buffer. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests with oversized funckey_transfer values to overwrite stack memory and potentially achieve remote code execution.
MitigationApply vendor firmware updates when available. As an interim control, disable remote web management access or restrict management interfaces to trusted networks via firewall rules. If immediate patching is not possible, implement input length validation on the affected parameter at an upstream WAF or intrusion prevention system.

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 checks
Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
Confirm Tenda router model
Access the router's web interface or check the device label/marketing to identify if the model is HG7, HG9, or HG10. Alternatively, log into the router via SSH or telnet (if enabled) and run 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' or check the banner for model identification.
Affected if The device is a Tenda HG7, HG9, or HG10 router.
Verify web management interface is accessible
Attempt to access the router's web interface at its default IP (commonly 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) via HTTP/HTTPS. Check if the login page loads successfully.
Affected if The router's web management interface is reachable on the network.
Check if VoIP functionality is enabled
Log into the router's web interface and navigate to the VoIP settings page (often under 'Advanced' or 'Phone' settings). Look for VoIP configuration options or the 'voip_other_set' functionality. Alternatively, check the router's configuration file for voip-related parameters.
Affected if VoIP functionality is enabled or configured on the device.
Test for vulnerable endpoint accessibility
Send a crafted HTTP POST request to '/boaform/voip_other_set' with an overly long string in the 'funckey_transfer' parameter (e.g., funckey_transfer=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...). Observe if the router responds with an error, crashes, or exhibits unexpected behavior indicating the vulnerability.
Affected if The /boaform/voip_other_set endpoint is accessible and processes the funckey_transfer parameter.
A user is affected if they are using a Tenda HG7, HG9, or HG10 router with the web management interface accessible and VoIP functionality enabled, where the vulnerable /boaform/voip_other_set endpoint processes the funckey_transfer parameter without proper length validation.

CVE-2026-11498 is a stack-based buffer overflow in the Tenda router VOIP handler's `asp_voip_OtherSet` function, specifically in how it processes the `funckey_transfer` parameter through the Boa web server. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score that may lead you to deprioritize it—don't. The risk profile here is a textbook case of feature abandonment intersecting with privileged attack surface.
The VOIP web management interface runs on Boa, which in Tenda firmware typically executes with elevated privileges and without modern hardening mitigations like stack canaries. A successful overflow doesn't just compromise a checkbox feature—it compromises the device sitting at your network edge that all traffic flows through. That's the blast radius that CVSS alone won't tell you about.
Two questions the CVE description leaves unresolved: First, is the `/boaform/voip_other_set` endpoint accessible from WAN in default ISP deployments? If yes, this is a remote unauthenticated compromise. If no, you still shouldn't assume safety—Tenda's web authentication has historically been trivially bypassable through session fixation, and compromised ISP provisioning can turn 'local-only' into 'effectively remote.' Second, what's the actual remediation timeline? Tenda has a well-documented pattern of slow or absent patch delivery for consumer GPON devices. 'Patch available' and 'patch deployed at scale' may be separated by years.
For defenders: assume remote exploitation is feasible until proven otherwise. Network-segment these devices aggressively. If you manage ISP-provided edge hardware, verify the management interface is not exposed and consider replacement if the vendor patch cadence is non-existent. The EPSS score of 0.03799 reflects current observation bias—it doesn't capture what happens when a botnet campaign decides to target this handler specifically. The structural likelihood of similar vulnerabilities appearing in the same product line within 24 months is effectively 1.0 based on the historical pattern.
