AI-suggested

  1. Immediately restrict remote access to the router's management interface by disabling WAN-side administration or limiting access via firewall rules and VPNs.
  2. Monitor network traffic for unusual activity targeting the /goform/openSchedWifi endpoint and implement intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures for this exploit.
  3. Apply firmware updates from Tenda as soon as they are released addressing this vulnerability.
  4. Segment networks to isolate vulnerable devices from critical infrastructure and sensitive data to limit potential lateral movement.
  5. Conduct regular vulnerability scans and penetration tests to identify exposed Tenda AC20 devices and verify mitigation effectiveness.
  6. Educate users and administrators on the risks of exposing router management interfaces to untrusted networks.
  7. Maintain up-to-date asset inventories to quickly identify and remediate affected devices.
  8. 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.
