DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was identified in Tenda TX9 up to 22.03.02.10_multi. Affected by this issue is the function sub_4223E0 of the file /goform/setMacFilterCfg. Such manipulation of the argument deviceList leads to buffer overflow. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Tenda TX9 routers (firmware up to 22.03.02.10_multi) contain a critical remote code execution vulnerability with active exploit code available. Organizations using this device for network infrastructure face immediate risk of unauthorized access, data theft, and network compromise.

Business Impact: High

Compensating Controls

Until patch availability: (1) Implement network segmentation to restrict access to router management interfaces; (2) Deploy WAF/IPS rules to block exploitation attempts against /goform/setMacFilterCfg endpoint; (3) Disable MAC filtering feature if operationally feasible; (4) Restrict administrative access to trusted networks only via firewall rules; (5) Monitor device logs for suspicious setMacFilterCfg requests; (6) Consider temporary replacement with patched alternative equipment.

Attack Technique

Buffer Overflow HIGH

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
