1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires authenticated access to Tenda CH22 1.0.0.1 router web interface. Attacker must send crafted HTTP request with malicious wanmode parameter to /goform/AdvSetWan endpoint to trigger stack-based buffer overflow in Parameter Handler. No victim interaction needed. |
| Impact | Real-world risk is elevated despite requiring authentication (PR:L). The CVSS 4.0 vector shows network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no attack requirements (AT:N), and high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H). The E:P (Proof-of-concept) metric confirms public exploit availability, corroborated by the GitHub POC reference. While EPSS data is not provided, publicly available exploit code for network-accessible router vulnerabilities typically results in elevated exploitation probability. No CISA KEV status is indicated, suggesting no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis. However, router vulnerabilities with public exploits often see scanning activity within days of disclosure. SSVC considerations: exploitation status is POC-level, attack is automatable given network exposure and low complexity, and technical impact is high (potential full device compromise). Primary risk mitigation is that exploitation requires valid credentials, but default/weak passwords on consumer routers remain common. This should be prioritized for devices with internet-facing management interfaces or untrusted authenticated users. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained low-privilege credentials to the Tenda CH22 router (such as through credential stuffing, default passwords, or phishing) connects to the web management interface over the network. The attacker crafts an HTTP POST request to /goform/AdvSetWan with an oversized wanmode parameter value designed to overflow the stack buffer. By carefully controlling the overflow data, the attacker overwrites the return address on the stack to redirect execution to injected shellcode or existing gadgets in firmware memory (return-oriented programming). Successful exploitation grants the attacker arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the web server process, typically root on embedded devices, allowing installation of persistent backdoors, traffic interception, or use of the compromised router as a pivot point for attacks against internal network hosts. Public exploit code availability means attackers can automate this attack against internet-exposed Tenda CH22 devices with minimal technical expertise. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 30, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda CH22 router (version 1.0.0.1) allows authenticated remote attackers to achieve code execution or denial of service via the wanmode parameter in the /goform/AdvSetWan endpoint. Public exploit code exists (GitHub POC), significantly lowering exploitation barriers. CVSS 7.4 reflects network-accessible attack requiring only low-privilege authentication, with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch or updated firmware version has been independently confirmed from available data. Users should monitor Tenda's official support portal at https://www.tenda.com.cn/ for security updates and firmware releases addressing CVE-2026-5155. As interim mitigation, restrict access to the router's administrative interface: disable remote management features if enabled, ensure management interface is accessible only from trusted internal networks, change default administrative credentials to strong unique passwords, and implement network segmentation to prevent lateral movement if device is compromised. For environments with heightened security requirements where patching is unavailable, consider replacing affected devices with alternative router models that have received security updates. Technical details and proof-of-concept code are available at https://github.com/Litengzheng/vuldb_new/blob/main/CH22/vul_47/README.md for validation and testing purposes in controlled environments.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability affects the fromAdvSetWan function in the Parameter Handler component of Tenda CH22 router firmware version 1.0.0.1, specifically when processing HTTP requests to /goform/AdvSetWan. The root cause is CWE-121 (stack-based buffer overflow), where insufficient bounds checking on the wanmode parameter allows an attacker to write beyond allocated stack memory. Router web management interfaces commonly accept configuration parameters like WAN mode settings without proper validation, and stack overflows in embedded device firmware can lead to control flow hijacking due to overwriting return addresses or function pointers. The Tenda CH22 appears to be a consumer-grade wireless router where the administrative interface processes network configuration commands. CPE identifier cpe:2.3:a:tenda:ch22:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms this affects the application-level firmware of the CH22 product line.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was found in Tenda CH22 1.0.0.1. This affects the function fromAdvSetWan of the file /goform/AdvSetWan of the component Parameter Handler. The manipulation of the argument wanmode results in stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.
Executive ViewAI
Tenda CH22 router version 1.0.0.1 contains a stack buffer overflow in the WAN configuration endpoint that allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary code or disable the device. With publicly available exploit code and no vendor patch available, any user with network access and basic credentials poses an immediate risk to network perimeter security and data confidentiality.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict network access to the /goform/AdvSetWan endpoint via firewall rules or network segmentation to trusted administrator IP ranges only; (2) Enforce strong, unique administrative passwords and disable default credentials; (3) Disable remote management access if not operationally required; (4) Implement network monitoring to detect suspicious configuration requests to the vulnerable endpoint; (5) Isolate affected routers on a dedicated management VLAN with minimal trust relationships to critical infrastructure.

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.
