Attack Vector: Adjacent
Attack Complexity: Low
Privileges Required: None
User Interaction: None
Scope: Unchanged
Confidentiality: None
Integrity: None
Availability: High

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

Attack Vector: Adjacent: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack, but the attack is limited at the protocol level to a logically adjacent topology. This can mean an attack must be launched from the same shared physical (e.g., Bluetooth or IEEE 802.11) or logical (e.g., local IP subnet) network, or from within a secure or otherwise limited administrative domain (e.g., MPLS, secure VPN to an administrative network zone).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
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: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

Exploitation evidence

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

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 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.

What to do

AI-suggested

1. Restrict network access to the router’s management interfaces by implementing strict firewall rules and network segmentation to limit exposure to trusted users only. 2. Disable or limit remote management features, especially over WAN or untrusted networks, to reduce the attack surface. 3. Monitor network traffic and device logs for unusual activity or repeated malformed requests targeting MAC filter configuration functions. 4. Regularly check for firmware updates from Tenda and apply patches promptly once available to remediate the vulnerability. 5. Consider replacing affected devices with models from vendors with a stronger security track record if patching is delayed or unavailable. 6. Employ network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) that can identify anomalous packets or malformed requests indicative of exploitation attempts. 7. Educate network administrators about the risks of local network attacks and the importance of secure device configuration and access controls.

Description

Tenda FH1202 v1.2.0.14(408) has a stack overflow vulnerability in the deviceMac parameter of the addWifiMacFilter function.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2024-30594 is a denial of service condition caused by a stack overflow crash in the affected Tenda FH1202 routers. This can disrupt network connectivity for users relying on the device, potentially affecting business operations or home network availability. Since the vulnerability does not compromise confidentiality or integrity, data theft or manipulation is unlikely. However, loss of availability can be critical in environments where continuous network access is essential, such as small businesses, remote offices, or IoT deployments. The requirement for network-level access limits exploitation to attackers who have already penetrated the local network or gained VPN access, reducing the risk of widespread remote attacks. Nevertheless, in poorly segmented networks or where these routers are exposed to untrusted networks, the risk increases. The lack of known exploits in the wild suggests limited current threat activity, but the absence of patches means the vulnerability remains exploitable. Organizations using this device should consider the potential for service disruption and plan accordingly.

CWE-121Stack-based Buffer Overflow (opens in a new tab)
Variant weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #14
A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
Operation · Build and Compilation · Environment Hardening
Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index…
