AI-suggested
- Immediately restrict remote access to the router's management interface by disabling WAN-side administration or limiting access via firewall rules and VPNs.
- Monitor network traffic for unusual activity targeting the /goform/openSchedWifi endpoint and implement intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures for this exploit.
- Apply firmware updates from Tenda as soon as they are released addressing this vulnerability.
- Segment networks to isolate vulnerable devices from critical infrastructure and sensitive data to limit potential lateral movement.
- Conduct regular vulnerability scans and penetration tests to identify exposed Tenda AC20 devices and verify mitigation effectiveness.
- Educate users and administrators on the risks of exposing router management interfaces to untrusted networks.
- Maintain up-to-date asset inventories to quickly identify and remediate affected devices.
- Consider deploying network-level protections such as web application firewalls (WAFs) or network access control (NAC) to block exploit attempts.
Description
A weakness has been identified in Tenda AC20 16.03.08.12. This affects the function httpd of the file /goform/openSchedWifi. Executing a manipulation of the argument schedStartTime/schedEndTime can lead to buffer overflow. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.
