CVE-2025-15136

8.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on TRENDnet TEW-800MB routers by injecting malicious commands through the management interface. Attackers can exploit this to gain full control of affected devices. Only TRENDnet TEW-800MB routers running firmware version 1.0.1.0 are affected.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • TRENDnet TEW-800MB
Versions: 1.0.1.0
Operating Systems: Embedded Linux
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects the web management interface which is typically enabled by default. Requires network access to the device's management interface.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete device compromise allowing attackers to install persistent backdoors, pivot to internal networks, intercept traffic, or use the device as part of a botnet.

🟠

Likely Case

Attackers gain shell access to execute commands, potentially modifying device configuration, stealing credentials, or launching attacks against internal networks.

🟢

If Mitigated

If properly segmented and monitored, impact limited to the device itself with no lateral movement to other systems.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

Exploit details are publicly available. Attack requires access to the management interface but no authentication is needed for the vulnerable endpoint.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Contact TRENDnet support for firmware updates or replacement options.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Disable Remote Management

all

Disable remote access to the router's management interface

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate the router from critical networks and restrict access to management interface

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Replace affected devices with supported models
  • Implement strict network access controls to limit exposure

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check firmware version in router web interface. If version is 1.0.1.0, device is vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check router web interface at http://[router-ip]/ or use telnet/ssh if enabled

Verify Fix Applied:

No fix available to verify. Consider device replacement.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual POST requests to /goform/wizardset with command injection patterns
  • Unexpected system command execution in router logs

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from router
  • Traffic patterns suggesting command and control activity

SIEM Query:

source="router_logs" AND (uri="/goform/wizardset" AND (method="POST" AND (param="WizardConfigured" AND value CONTAINS "|" OR value CONTAINS ";" OR value CONTAINS "`")))
