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: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within 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 30 Dec 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
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
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

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 2026-10-25.

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

1. Monitor Tenda’s official channels for firmware updates addressing CVE-2025-15229 and apply patches promptly once released. 2. Until patches are available, restrict access to the router’s management interfaces and the /goform/DhcpListClient endpoint by implementing network segmentation and firewall rules to block unauthorized inbound traffic. 3. Employ intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures or anomaly detection capable of identifying suspicious requests targeting DHCP client list parameters. 4. Disable remote management features on the router if not required, reducing exposure to external attackers. 5. Regularly audit network devices for unusual behavior or crashes that may indicate exploitation attempts. 6. For organizations, consider deploying alternative or backup network devices to maintain connectivity during potential outages. 7. Educate users about the risk and encourage reporting of connectivity issues promptly to enable rapid response.

Description

A vulnerability has been found in Tenda CH22 up to 1.0.0.1. Affected by this vulnerability is the function fromDhcpListClient of the file /goform/DhcpListClient. Such manipulation of the argument LISTLEN leads to denial of service. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2025-15229 is the denial of service of Tenda CH22 routers, which can lead to network outages and loss of connectivity for end users. This can disrupt business operations, especially for small enterprises or home offices relying on these routers for internet access. Since the vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, attackers can launch DoS attacks from anywhere on the internet, potentially targeting multiple devices simultaneously to cause widespread disruption. Although the vulnerability does not compromise data confidentiality or integrity, the loss of availability may affect critical communications and services. In environments where Tenda CH22 routers are deployed as part of larger network infrastructures, this could lead to cascading failures or increased operational costs due to downtime and troubleshooting. The public availability of exploit details increases the likelihood of opportunistic attacks, particularly in regions where these devices are prevalent.
