CVE-2022-45507 is a high-severity stack overflow vulnerability identified in the Tenda W30E router firmware version V1.0.1.25(633). The vulnerability arises from improper handling of the 'editNameMit' parameter in the HTTP endpoint '/goform/editFileName'. Specifically, the parameter input is not properly validated or bounds-checked before being copied onto the stack, leading to a classic stack-based buffer overflow condition (CWE-787). This flaw can be triggered remotely over the network without requiring any authentication or user interaction, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service by crashing the device or potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected process, which likely runs with elevated permissions given the router context. The vulnerability affects the Tenda W30E model running the specified firmware version; however, no other versions or products are explicitly mentioned. No patches or mitigations have been officially released as per the provided data, and there are no known exploits currently observed in the wild. The vulnerability was published on December 8, 2022, and reserved on November 21, 2022. The CVSS score of 7.5 reflects a high impact on availability with no direct impact on confidentiality or integrity, emphasizing the potential for service disruption or device compromise. Given the nature of the flaw and the device type, exploitation could lead to network outages or serve as a foothold for further attacks within a network environment where the router is deployed.

For European organizations, the exploitation of CVE-2022-45507 could have significant operational impacts, especially for small and medium enterprises or home office setups relying on Tenda W30E routers for internet connectivity. A successful attack could result in denial of service, disrupting internet access and potentially affecting business continuity. Moreover, if the vulnerability is leveraged for remote code execution, attackers could gain control over the router, enabling interception or manipulation of network traffic, lateral movement within the network, or deployment of additional malware. This could compromise sensitive data or critical infrastructure components connected behind the affected router. The impact is particularly critical for organizations with limited IT security resources or those using consumer-grade networking equipment without regular firmware updates. Additionally, sectors with high availability requirements such as healthcare, finance, and critical infrastructure could face increased risks if these devices are present in their network environments. The lack of authentication and user interaction requirements lowers the barrier for exploitation, increasing the threat level. However, the absence of known exploits in the wild suggests that the threat is currently theoretical but should be addressed proactively.

1. Immediate identification and inventory of Tenda W30E routers within organizational networks to assess exposure. 2. Since no official patches are currently available, organizations should consider isolating affected devices from critical network segments or the internet to reduce exposure. 3. Implement network-level protections such as firewall rules to restrict access to the router's management interface, especially blocking access to the '/goform/editFileName' endpoint from untrusted sources. 4. Monitor network traffic for unusual requests targeting the vulnerable endpoint or signs of exploitation attempts. 5. Engage with Tenda support channels to obtain information on upcoming firmware updates or patches addressing this vulnerability. 6. Where feasible, replace affected devices with models from vendors with a stronger security track record and timely patching practices. 7. Educate IT staff about the risks of consumer-grade networking equipment and encourage regular firmware update practices. 8. Employ network segmentation to limit the impact of a compromised router on critical systems. 9. Use intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures or heuristics capable of detecting exploitation attempts targeting this vulnerability once available.
