Tenda W30E V2.0 V16.01.0.21 was found to contain a command injection vulnerability in the do_ping_action function via the hostName parameter. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted request.
AnalysisAI
Command injection in Tenda W30E router firmware V16.01.0.21 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands via the 'hostName' parameter in the diagnostic ping function. Attack requires only network access to the router's web interface with no authentication or user interaction. Proof-of-concept exploit code is publicly available (SSVC exploitation status: POC). EPSS data not available, but SSVC framework marks this as automatable with partial technical impact, making it suitable for mass scanning campaigns targeting exposed Tenda routers.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the do_ping_action function of the Tenda W30E router's web management interface, a common feature allowing administrators to perform network diagnostics. This is a classic command injection vulnerability (CWE-77) where user-supplied input in the 'hostName' parameter is passed unsanitized to an underlying system shell command, likely via functions like system() or popen() in the router's embedded Linux firmware. The diagnostic ping feature typically constructs commands like 'ping [user_input]', but without proper input validation or escaping, attackers can inject shell metacharacters (semicolons, pipes, backticks) to append arbitrary commands. Tenda W30E is a wireless router device typically deployed in home and small office environments, running proprietary firmware based on embedded Linux. The affected version V16.01.0.21 (firmware V2.0) processes HTTP requests to the web interface without requiring authentication for the vulnerable endpoint, as indicated by the CVSS vector PR:N.
RemediationAI
Check Tenda's official support website and product page for the W30E model for firmware updates newer than V16.01.0.21. No vendor-released patch version is independently confirmed from the available data at time of analysis. If no firmware update is available, implement the following compensating controls with noted trade-offs: (1) Disable remote management access to the router's web interface from the WAN side-configure the router to accept administrative connections only from the LAN, eliminating internet-based attack surface but preventing legitimate remote administration. (2) If remote access is required, place the router behind a firewall or VPN that restricts management interface access to trusted IP addresses only-adds complexity and may require additional network infrastructure. (3) Replace the Tenda W30E with alternative router hardware from vendors with stronger security track records if the device is end-of-life or unsupported. Monitor https://www.tenda.com.cn/en/download/ and the researcher's disclosure at https://github.com/jsjbcyber/repo/blob/main/rep_1.md for updates. Given the severity and public POC availability, replacement or strict network isolation should be prioritized over waiting for vendor patch if the device is internet-exposed.
