CVE-2026-11556
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 security flaw has been discovered in Tenda F451 1.0.0.7/1.0.0.9. Impacted is the function formWriteFacMac of the file /goform/WriteFacMac of the component Web Management Interface. Performing a manipulation of the argument mac results in os command injection. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks.
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 confidenceOS command injection vulnerability in Tenda F451 router's web management interface (/goform/WriteFacMac). The formWriteFacMac function fails to sanitize the 'mac' parameter, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary OS commands via the web interface. Exploitable remotely with publicly available exploit code.

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 modelAccess the router's web interface or check the device label/menu for the exact model number to confirm it is a Tenda F451Affected if The device is a Tenda F451 router
-
Confirm web management interface is accessibleAttempt to reach the router's web interface over HTTP/HTTPS (typically ports 80 or 443) from the networkAffected if The web management interface is exposed and reachable
-
Check if vulnerable endpoint existsSend a request to /goform/WriteFacMac and observe if the endpoint responds (even with an error)Affected if The /goform/WriteFacMac endpoint is present and responds to requests
-
Verify mac parameter is acceptedSubmit a request to /goform/WriteFacMac with a test value in the 'mac' parameter and check if the application processes itAffected if The 'mac' parameter is accepted and processed by the endpoint
If the device is a Tenda F451 with an accessible web interface and the /goform/WriteFacMac endpoint responds to the 'mac' parameter, the environment is affected by this vulnerability.

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.
dbcve · scopedImmediately restrict access to the router's web management interface from untrusted networks (do not expose to internet). Contact Tenda for firmware updates addressing this command injection, or implement network segmentation as a compensating control until patch is available.
Latest firmware version available from Tenda (check www.tenda.com.cn for F451 v1.0.0.10 or higher)
- 1. Check Tenda's official support website (www.tenda.com.cn) for the latest firmware version for the F451 router.
- 2. Download the latest firmware update that addresses security vulnerabilities.
- 3. Access the router's web management interface at its local IP address.
- 4. Navigate to the firmware upgrade or system settings section.
- 5. Upload and apply the new firmware version.
- 6. After upgrade, verify the /goform/WriteFacMac functionality works correctly and the vulnerability is remediated.
- 7. If no official firmware is available, consider placing the device behind a firewall with restricted access to the web management interface.
