What to do

AI-suggested

1. Immediate mitigation should include isolating affected Tenda W12 devices from untrusted networks to reduce exposure. 2. Monitor network traffic for unusual HTTP requests targeting the /goform/modules endpoint, especially those containing malformed 'mac' parameters. 3. Implement network-level filtering or intrusion prevention system (IPS) rules to detect and block exploit attempts targeting this vulnerability. 4. Contact Tenda support or check official channels frequently for firmware updates or patches addressing CVE-2025-11549 and apply them promptly once available. 5. As a temporary workaround, disable remote management interfaces on the router to limit attack surface. 6. Conduct regular security audits of network devices to identify vulnerable firmware versions. 7. Employ network segmentation to limit the impact of compromised devices. 8. Educate network administrators about this vulnerability and ensure incident response plans include steps for router compromise scenarios.
