Exploitation Conditions

The affected product is the Tenda F6 router firmware 12.02.01.73 Web Management Interface, and the specific prerequisite is that the ecos_pw argument is transmitted in cleartext, so an attacker must be able to observe or intercept that traffic - i.e. occupy an on-path position between the management client and the device. Exploitation is limited by high attack complexity (AC:H) and the vendor's own statement that exploitation is 'difficult': simply reaching the device over the network is not sufficient, the attacker must capture the cleartext transmission. No authentication is required (PR:N) and no user interaction is needed (UI:N), but the impact is limited to confidentiality of the exposed value (VC:L); there is no integrity or availability impact. The available sources do not describe the exact function or trigger beyond the ecos_pw argument, and no fixed firmware version is provided.

Impact

This is a low-priority issue despite being remotely reachable. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) yields a base score of only 2.9, driven by a single low confidentiality impact (VC:L) with no integrity or availability impact and an explicit high attack complexity (AC:H) - the vendor-echoed note that 'exploitability is told to be difficult' reinforces AC:H. The vuln.today Decision label is 'monitor', the lowest urgency tier, and this is consistent with the signals: no CISA KEV listing, no EPSS score provided, and only a PoC reference (not verified working exploit code). The one escalating signal - E:P (Proof-of-Concept) in the CVSS 4.0 temporal metric plus a public exploit reference on GitHub - is tempered by the fact that the reference is an unverified editable markdown page, not confirmed working code. No signals conflict here; they consistently point to a genuine but minor information-disclosure weakness in a consumer router, not an emergency. Note that for a CWE-319 cleartext-transmission flaw the PR:N rating means no credentials are needed, but realistic exploitation still requires the attacker to occupy an on-path/interception position, which is the practical reason for the AC:H and 'difficult' characterization.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker positioned on the network path between a client and the Tenda F6 Web Management Interface observes the ecos_pw argument being transmitted in cleartext and captures the sensitive value. A public PoC reference exists on GitHub but is not verified as working exploit code, and the vendor itself characterizes exploitation as difficult (high complexity), so an on-path/interception foothold is the gating requirement.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 23, 2026

Cleartext transmission of the sensitive ecos_pw value in the Tenda F6 router (firmware 12.02.01.73) web management interface exposes that value to anyone positioned on the network path between the management client and the device. The flaw is rated low severity (CVSS 4.0 score 2.9; assessed CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) because confidentiality impact is limited and exploitation requires the attacker to already be able to observe the traffic, which the vendor describes as difficult. Only a public PoC reference exists; it is not verified as working exploit code, and no confirmed active exploitation or fixed firmware version is documented in the available sources.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch and no fixed firmware version are identified at time of analysis; the available references (https://vuldb.com/vuln/425975 and https://www.tenda.com.cn/) do not document a corrective release, so confirm current firmware status with Tenda before relying on an upgrade. Because the exposure requires an on-path observer of the management traffic carrying the ecos_pw argument, the practical compensating controls are: keep the web management interface off untrusted network segments, including blocking WAN-side access to the UI and confining administration to a dedicated management VLAN or wired-only segment (trade-off: administrators lose convenient remote access and need a jump path); when remote management is unavoidable, tunnel management sessions through an encrypted channel such as SSH port forwarding, a VPN or a TLS-terminating reverse proxy so the ecos_pw value is never carried in cleartext (trade-off: added infrastructure and per-admin configuration); and treat the management credentials as potentially disclosed, rotating the ecos_pw-related admin password and monitoring for reuse (trade-off: rotation is only precautionary until the vendor confirms the scope of the exposure).

Technical ContextAI · show details

The issue is a CWE-319 cleartext transmission weakness in the web management interface of the Tenda F6 (CPE cpe:2.3:a:tenda:f6:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, observed on firmware 12.02.01.73). The exposed data is the ecos_pw argument, which travels over the management channel without transport protection, so its confidentiality depends entirely on the attacker not being able to observe that channel. The CVSS vector's high attack complexity (AC:H) and the vendor's statement that exploitation is difficult reflect that simply reaching the device over the network is not enough - an on-path position capable of capturing the management traffic is required. No authentication (PR:N) or user interaction (UI:N) is needed for the exposure itself, and there is no integrity or availability impact (VI:N/VA:N). The available sources do not name the specific function or describe the exact trigger beyond the ecos_pw argument, and no fixed firmware version is given.
