DescriptionCVE.org

Tenda i24V3.0si V3.0.0.5 Firmware V3.0.0.5 was discovered to contain a hardcoded password vulnerability in /etc_ro/shadow, which allows attackers to log in as root.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Tenda i24V3.0si wireless devices contain a hardcoded root password vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to gain complete administrative control. Any organization deploying this device model is at immediate risk of network compromise, data exfiltration, and lateral movement into critical systems.

Business Impact: Severe

Compensating Controls

Implement network segmentation to restrict administrative access to Tenda devices via firewall rules; disable WAN-side management interfaces; deploy network-based intrusion detection to monitor for unauthorized root login attempts; consider disabling the device entirely if it is not critical to operations; restrict SSH/Telnet access to trusted administrator IP addresses only via firewall ACLs.
