5DescriptionNVD
A flaw has been found in Tenda W20E 15.11.0.6. This issue affects the function formPortalAuth of the file /goform/PortalAuth of the component Web Management Interface. Executing a manipulation of the argument gotoUrl can lead to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda W20E firmware 15.11.0.6 allows authenticated remote attackers to corrupt memory via the gotoUrl parameter handled by the formPortalAuth function in /goform/PortalAuth of the Web Management Interface. Publicly available exploit code exists, raising the likelihood of opportunistic targeting of internet-exposed router management interfaces, though no public exploit identified as actively exploited per CISA KEV at time of analysis.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Attacker requires network reachability to the W20E Web Management Interface (TCP HTTP/HTTPS) and valid low-privileged credentials per CVSS PR:L - exploitation is not unauthenticated. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.4 (High) reflects network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), and high confidentiality/integrity/availability impact (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H), but is moderated by the requirement for low-level privileges (PR:L) - meaning some form of authentication or low-privileged session is required. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has obtained low-privileged credentials (e.g., a guest or read-only admin account, or default/weak credentials common on SOHO routers) reaches the device's web management interface over the network and submits a crafted POST request to /goform/PortalAuth with an oversized gotoUrl parameter, overflowing the stack buffer in formPortalAuth and overwriting the saved return address to redirect execution to attacker-supplied shellcode. Successful exploitation grants code execution as the web server process - typically root on embedded firmware - enabling persistent backdoor installation, DNS hijacking, or recruitment into IoT botnets. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the Tenda reference points only to the vendor homepage rather than a security advisory or firmware update. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
24 hours: Inventory all Tenda W20E routers and identify those with public internet access to the web management interface; disable remote management on all devices where it is not required. …
