AI-suggested
To mitigate CVE-2025-14655, organizations should immediately verify the firmware version of their Tenda AC20 routers and upgrade to a patched version once released by the vendor. In the absence of an official patch, network administrators should restrict access to the router's management interface by implementing firewall rules that limit inbound connections to trusted IP addresses only. Disabling remote management features or changing default management ports can reduce exposure. Employing network segmentation to isolate vulnerable devices from critical infrastructure limits potential lateral movement. Monitoring network traffic for unusual HTTP requests targeting /goform/SetSysAutoRebbotCfg and anomalous rebootTime parameter values can help detect exploitation attempts. Additionally, deploying intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures for this vulnerability can provide proactive defense. Regularly auditing and updating router firmware and configurations is essential to maintain security. Organizations should also educate users and administrators about the risks of using outdated firmware and the importance of timely updates.
Description
A security flaw has been discovered in Tenda AC20 16.03.08.12. The impacted element is the function formSetRebootTimer of the file /goform/SetSysAutoRebbotCfg of the component httpd. Performing a manipulation of the argument rebootTime results in stack-based buffer overflow. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks.
