CVE-2025-15010

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Tenda WH450 routers version 1.0.0.18, specifically in the /goform/SafeUrlFilter endpoint. Remote attackers can exploit this to execute arbitrary code or crash the device. This affects all users running the vulnerable firmware version.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Tenda WH450
Versions: 1.0.0.18
Operating Systems: Embedded router firmware
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All devices running this specific firmware version are vulnerable. The web management interface is typically enabled by default.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Remote code execution leading to complete device compromise, persistent backdoor installation, and lateral movement to internal networks.

🟠

Likely Case

Device crash causing denial of service, potential credential theft, and network disruption.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if device is behind firewall with restricted WAN access and proper network segmentation.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Remote exploitation is possible without authentication, making internet-exposed devices immediate targets.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers could exploit this, but requires network access to the device's management interface.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Public proof-of-concept demonstrates exploitation. The vulnerability requires sending crafted HTTP requests to the vulnerable endpoint.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: Not available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

Check Tenda's official website for firmware updates. If available, download and install the latest firmware through the router's web interface.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Disable Remote Management

all

Prevent external access to the router's web interface

Access router admin panel → Advanced Settings → Remote Management → Disable

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate router management interface from untrusted networks

Configure firewall rules to restrict access to router IP on ports 80/443

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Replace affected devices with patched or alternative models
  • Implement strict network access controls and monitor for exploitation attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check firmware version in router web interface: Login → System Status → Firmware Version

Check Version:

curl -s http://router-ip/goform/getStatus | grep version

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version is no longer 1.0.0.18 after update

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • HTTP requests to /goform/SafeUrlFilter with unusual parameters
  • Router crash/reboot logs
  • Unusual outbound connections from router

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP POST requests to /goform/SafeUrlFilter with long 'page' parameter
  • Unexpected traffic from router to external IPs

SIEM Query:

source="router_logs" AND (url="/goform/SafeUrlFilter" OR "buffer overflow" OR "segmentation fault")
