HarborGuard Analysis
Synopsis
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the formWifiRadioSet function of the Tenda W3 Wireless Router firmware v1.0.0.3(2204), specifically in the wl_radio parameter. The vulnerability is reachable over the network with no authentication required and no user interaction needed. Successful exploitation crashes the affected service, causing a denial of service. No fix version has been published; HarborGuard tracks this advisory for patch availability.
HarborGuard Coverage
Detection for CVE-2026-36792 is available across every HarborGuard environment, with the CVE matched against customer images within minutes of ingestion from upstream advisory feeds, including custom-built images that incorporate affected Tenda W3 firmware components.
AvailableTriage is available using the CVSS v3.1 score of 7.5 (HIGH), with per-environment compliance policy weighting applied to surface the finding to the appropriate team inbox inside each customer organization.
AvailableNo fix version has been published upstream. HarborGuard re-checks this advisory on every ingest cycle and will make a patched-image rebuild available the moment an upstream fix is released.
Pending upstreamExploit Conditions
- Network reachabilityRequired
The vulnerable HTTP endpoint is exposed over the network, so an attacker must be able to reach the device's web interface to send a crafted request.
- AuthenticationNot required
No credentials are needed; the attacker can send a malicious request as an unauthenticated caller.
- Victim interactionNot required
The exploit requires no action from any user or administrator on the target device.
- Attack complexityDetail
Attack complexity is low, meaning the exploit is reliable and requires no special conditions, race timing, or environmental prerequisites.
Blast Radius
- The affected router process crashes, taking down wireless radio configuration handling and disrupting network connectivity for all devices on the affected segment.
- No confidentiality impact is associated with this vulnerability; stored credentials and configuration data are not exposed by the overflow.
- No integrity impact is present; the attacker cannot modify persisted settings or routing tables through this exploit path.
How HarborGuard Handles This
Available on HarborGuard: detection for this CVE is matched against customer images on every scan cycle, covering both registry images and images built in CI pipelines. Because no upstream fix exists yet, HarborGuard monitors the advisory continuously and will surface a patched-image rebuild the moment a fix version is published. In the interim, customers can apply compensating controls through HarborGuard network policy recommendations, such as restricting ingress to the router management HTTP interface via network-policy isolation and egress filtering rules, to reduce exposure. For customers with auto-remediation enabled, a rebuilt image and regression test run will be triggered automatically as soon as an upstream patch is available.
