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 30 Jan 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: evidence found.
CVSS exploit maturity: proof of concept public
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), CVSS vector, the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

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 or the CVSS exploit maturity 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-2026-1689, affected organizations should immediately identify and isolate Tenda HG10 devices running the vulnerable firmware version US_HG7_HG9_HG10re_300001138_en_xpon. Network segmentation should be enforced to limit access to these devices from untrusted networks, especially the internet. Disable remote management interfaces if enabled, or restrict access to trusted IP addresses only. Employ network-level firewall rules to block unauthorized inbound traffic targeting the router's management ports. Monitor network traffic for unusual command execution patterns or unexpected outbound connections originating from the device. Since no official patches are currently available, consider deploying compensating controls such as replacing affected devices with updated models or alternative vendors that provide timely security updates. Regularly check for firmware updates from Tenda and apply them promptly once released. Additionally, implement strong network access controls and intrusion detection systems to detect and respond to exploitation attempts. Educate users about the risks and encourage reporting of suspicious device behavior.

Description

A vulnerability was detected in Tenda HG10 US_HG7_HG9_HG10re_300001138_en_xpon. The impacted element is the function checkUserFromLanOrWan of the file /boaform/admin/formLogin of the component Login Interface. The manipulation of the argument Host results in command injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used.

Impact

The impact of CVE-2026-1689 is significant for organizations and individuals using affected Tenda HG10 routers. Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the device without authentication, potentially leading to full device compromise. This can result in unauthorized access to internal networks, interception or manipulation of network traffic, installation of persistent malware, or disruption of network services. For enterprises relying on these devices for connectivity or as part of their network infrastructure, this vulnerability could serve as an entry point for lateral movement and further attacks. The medium CVSS score reflects moderate impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, but the ease of exploitation and lack of authentication requirements elevate the risk. The absence of patches increases exposure time, and the availability of public exploit code could lead to widespread attacks. Residential users and small businesses are particularly vulnerable due to limited security monitoring and patch management capabilities.
