MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Discovery, Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | CVSS 7.3 with unauthenticated remote network access and low complexity creates immediate exploitation risk for Tenda i6 devices. Path traversal enables unauthorized file access and potential information disclosure. Publicly available exploit code and moderate observed exploitation activity elevate priority despite limited integrity/availability impact compared to RCE variants. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | Attacker sends crafted HTTP request with path traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to R7WebsSecurityHandler endpoint without authentication. Server processes traversal payload, exposing sensitive files or configuration data readable by HTTP handler process. Publicly available exploit code exists. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 10, 2026
Path traversal in Tenda i6 router firmware 1.0.0.7(2204) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read, write, or delete arbitrary files via malicious HTTP requests to the R7WebsSecurityHandlerfunction component. CVSS 7.3 (High) reflects network-accessible exploitation without authentication. Publicly available exploit code exists, documented in a GitHub repository demonstrating attack vectors. Affects Tenda i6 wireless router deployments running vulnerable firmware version.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Monitor Tenda's official support portal (https://www.tenda.com.cn/) for firmware updates addressing CVE-2026-6024. Immediately implement network-level mitigations: restrict HTTP/HTTPS management interface access to trusted internal IP ranges via firewall rules, disable remote administration if not operationally required, deploy devices behind network segmentation to limit attack surface. Consider replacing affected units if vendor does not issue timely security updates. Consult VulDB technical analysis at https://vuldb.com/vuln/356600 and https://github.com/Litengzheng/vuldb_new/blob/main/M3/vul_84/README.md for additional context on exploitation techniques to inform detection strategies.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-22 path traversal in R7WebsSecurityHandlerfunction within HTTP Handler component fails to sanitize user-supplied path input. Attack vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N) confirms direct network exploitation without authentication or user interaction. Insufficient input validation enables directory traversal sequences to bypass intended file access restrictions, exposing filesystem resources to unauthorized manipulation.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was determined in Tenda i6 1.0.0.7(2204). Affected by this issue is the function R7WebsSecurityHandlerfunction of the component HTTP Handler. This manipulation causes path traversal. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-6024 is a critical path traversal vulnerability in Tenda i6 routers that enables unauthenticated remote attackers to read, write, or delete arbitrary files on affected devices. Organizations deploying Tenda i6 routers running firmware version 1.0.0.7(2204) face immediate risk of configuration compromise, credential theft, and complete device takeover without requiring authentication.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: Restrict network access to router administrative interfaces using firewall rules; disable remote management features if supported; deploy routers behind additional security appliances; maintain network segmentation to limit lateral movement if router compromise occurs. Monitor router logs for suspicious file access patterns. Escalate to vendor for patch timeline and interim guidance.
