Scope: Unchanged
Confidentiality: High
Integrity: None
Availability: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Local: The vulnerable component is not bound to the network stack and the attacker’s path is via read/write/execute capabilities. Either: the attacker exploits the vulnerability by accessing the target system locally (e.g., keyboard, console), or remotely (e.g., SSH); or the attacker relies on User Interaction by another person to perform actions required to exploit the vulnerability (e.g., tricking a legitimate user into opening a malicious document).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

CVE published 7 Feb 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2024-24488, organizations should first identify any Shenzhen Tenda CP3V2.0 devices within their network inventory. Since no official patches are currently available, immediate steps include restricting physical and network access to these devices to trusted personnel only, enforcing strict network segmentation to isolate vulnerable devices from critical systems, and monitoring for unusual local access attempts. Administrators should change default credentials and ensure strong, unique passwords are used on all devices. Implementing network access controls such as NAC (Network Access Control) can help prevent unauthorized local access. Additionally, organizations should consider deploying endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to detect suspicious activities indicative of credential harvesting. Regular audits of device configurations and logs can help identify potential exploitation attempts. Finally, maintain communication with the vendor for updates on patches or firmware upgrades addressing this vulnerability and plan for timely deployment once available.

Description

An issue in Shenzen Tenda Technology CP3V2.0 V11.10.00.2311090948 allows a local attacker to obtain sensitive information via the password component.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2024-24488 could be significant in environments where Shenzhen Tenda Technology devices are deployed, particularly in small to medium enterprises or home office setups that utilize these devices for network connectivity. The exposure of sensitive password information could lead to unauthorized access to network resources, compromising confidentiality and potentially enabling attackers to escalate privileges or move laterally within corporate networks. Although the vulnerability requires local access, this could be achieved through compromised internal systems or insider threats. The lack of impact on integrity and availability limits the scope of damage to data confidentiality; however, leaked credentials could facilitate further attacks such as unauthorized configuration changes or data exfiltration. Given the widespread use of Tenda networking equipment in consumer and SMB markets across Europe, organizations relying on these devices without proper segmentation or monitoring could face increased risk. Additionally, sectors with high security requirements, such as finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure, could be indirectly affected if attackers leverage this vulnerability as part of a multi-stage attack chain.

Base weaknessOWASP Top 10 A06:2025: Insecure Design (opens in a new tab)
The product stores sensitive information in cleartext within a resource that might be accessible to another control sphere.
Implementation · System Configuration · Operation
When storing data in the cloud (e.g., S3 buckets, Azure blobs, Google Cloud Storage, etc.), use the provider's controls to encrypt the data at rest.
Implementation · System Configuration · Operation
In some systems/environments such as cloud, the use of "double encryption" (at both the software and hardware layer) might be required, and the developer might be solely responsible for both layers, instead of shared responsibility with the administrator of the broader system/environment.
