| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) indicates low exploitation complexity, no special attack requirements, and network reachability - all factors that lower the barrier to exploitation. The E:P (Proof-of-Concept) modifier confirms public exploit code exists. The impact metrics in the provided CVSS 4.0 score (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) appear conservative for a command injection flaw, which in practice typically grants arbitrary OS-level command execution on the device - likely yielding full control of the router. This discrepancy warrants independent assessment: real-world impact is likely higher than the vendor-assigned score reflects. No CISA KEV listing at time of analysis, meaning active exploitation has not been officially confirmed, but the public PoC makes opportunistic targeting feasible. The primary limiting factor is the PR:L requirement, meaning an attacker must first obtain credentials to the web management interface. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 23, 2026
Command injection in Tenda CH22 version 1.0.0.1 allows a remote low-privileged attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands by manipulating the editNameMit parameter within the formeditFileName function at the /goform/editFileName web management endpoint. A public proof-of-concept exploit has been released, confirmed by the CVSS 4.0 E:P modifier and a linked Notion-hosted exploit writeup. No CISA KEV listing at time of analysis, but the public PoC significantly lowers the skill bar for exploitation against any CH22 device with an exposed or accessible management interface.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. Tenda's website (https://www.tenda.com.cn/) should be monitored for firmware updates addressing CVE-2026-78063. As an immediate compensating control, restrict access to the CH22 web management interface to trusted LAN hosts only by disabling WAN-side management access - this eliminates the remote attack surface while retaining local administrative access, with no functional trade-off for most home/small-office deployments. Additionally, change all default credentials to strong, unique passwords to raise the bar for the PR:L authentication requirement. Network segmentation placing the management interface on a dedicated VLAN inaccessible to untrusted hosts further reduces exposure. Do not expose the router's management port to the internet. For enterprise environments running this device, consider replacement with a supported device that receives active firmware patches.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Tenda CH22 is a SOHO router whose firmware exposes a web-based management interface via CGI-style /goform/ endpoints. The vulnerable function formeditFileName handles filename editing operations, accepting user input via the editNameMit argument and passing it unsanitized to an underlying system shell call. CWE-77 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command) describes this root cause: the application constructs an OS command string using attacker-controlled data without stripping or escaping shell metacharacters such as ;, |, or $(...). The CPE cpe:2.3:a:tenda:ch22:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version field, indicating all known CH22 firmware versions may share this code path, though only version 1.0.0.1 is explicitly confirmed in the vulnerability report.
