Impact

CVSS 7.3 with unauthenticated network access and low complexity creates significant exposure for Tenda i12 users. Path traversal via HTTP handler enables file system access, threatening confidentiality and integrity. Publicly available exploit code and proof-of-concept substantially increase real-world risk. Patch availability from vendor should be prioritized immediately.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

Attacker sends crafted HTTP request with path traversal payloads (e.g., ../../../etc/passwd) to Tenda i12 HTTP handler. No authentication required. Publicly available POC enables straightforward exploitation to read sensitive files or modify configuration.

This Month Plan within 30 days. Why: MEDIUM severity (CVSS 4.0-6.9).
No patch listed yet 0.1% exploitation probability (EPSS)

AnalysisAIv1 – Apr 09, 2026

Path traversal in Tenda i12 router firmware 1.0.0.11(3862) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read, modify, or delete arbitrary files via malicious HTTP requests to an unidentified handler component. The vulnerability enables unauthorized access to the filesystem with low integrity and confidentiality impact. Publicly available exploit code exists, increasing the likelihood of opportunistic attacks against exposed devices.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Tenda has not published security advisories or firmware updates addressing CVE-2026-5849 per vendor website review (https://www.tenda.com.cn/). Recommended immediate mitigations: (1) Disable remote HTTP/HTTPS administrative access and restrict management interface to trusted internal networks only; (2) Deploy network segmentation to isolate vulnerable devices from untrusted networks; (3) Monitor vendor advisory channels for firmware updates; (4) Consider device replacement if vendor discontinues support.

Technical ContextAI · show details

HTTP Handler component fails to properly sanitize user-supplied path input (CWE-22), enabling directory traversal sequences (e.g., '../') to escape intended access boundaries. Network-accessible attack vector (AV:N) with no authentication requirement (PR:N) permits remote exploitation. Affects Tenda i12 wireless router firmware version 1.0.0.11(3862) specifically.

DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was determined in Tenda i12 1.0.0.11(3862). The impacted element is an unknown function of the component HTTP Handler. Executing a manipulation can lead to path traversal. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2026-5849 is a critical path traversal vulnerability affecting Tenda i12 routers (firmware 1.0.0.11(3862)) that allows unauthenticated attackers to read, modify, or delete arbitrary files on affected devices. Organizations relying on these routers for network access face immediate risk of unauthorized data exfiltration, configuration tampering, and potential lateral movement into internal networks.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict WAN access to affected Tenda i12 routers via firewall rules; disable remote management features if supported; implement network segmentation to limit lateral movement from compromised routers; monitor for suspicious HTTP requests targeting file system paths; consider replacement with patched device models or alternative vendors pending Tenda advisory updates.
