Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

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

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 23 Dec 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

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 2026-10-26.

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.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-15048, organizations should immediately assess their network for the presence of Tenda WH450 routers running firmware version 1.0.0.18. Since no official patches are currently available, temporary mitigations include restricting access to the router's management interface by implementing network segmentation and firewall rules to block external and unauthorized internal access to the /goform/CheckTools endpoint. Disabling remote management features or restricting them to trusted IP addresses can reduce exposure. Monitoring network traffic for unusual requests targeting the vulnerable endpoint may help detect exploitation attempts. Organizations should contact Tenda support for firmware updates or advisories and apply patches as soon as they become available. Additionally, consider replacing vulnerable devices with models that have active security support. Implementing network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) with signatures for command injection attempts targeting this endpoint can provide early warnings. Regularly auditing router configurations and logs will help identify suspicious activities. Finally, educating users about the risks of exposed network devices and enforcing strong network security policies will reduce the attack surface.

Description

A vulnerability was determined in Tenda WH450 1.0.0.18. This impacts an unknown function of the file /goform/CheckTools of the component HTTP Request Handler. Executing a manipulation of the argument ipaddress can lead to command injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.

Impact

The impact of CVE-2025-15048 is significant for organizations using Tenda WH450 routers, as exploitation enables remote command execution without authentication. This can lead to full compromise of the device, allowing attackers to manipulate network traffic, intercept or alter data, deploy malware, or create persistent backdoors. Confidentiality is at risk due to potential data interception or exfiltration. Integrity can be compromised by unauthorized changes to device configurations or network traffic. Availability may be affected if attackers disrupt router functionality or launch denial-of-service conditions. Organizations relying on these routers for critical network connectivity, especially in small office or home office environments, could face operational disruptions and increased exposure to lateral movement within internal networks. The medium CVSS score reflects the balance between ease of exploitation and partial impact on security properties. However, the lack of authentication and remote exploitability increase the threat level. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently limits immediate widespread impact, but the public disclosure may prompt attackers to develop and deploy exploits rapidly.
