CVE-2025-15177
📋 TL;DR
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Tenda WH450 router firmware version 1.0.0.18 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted HTTP requests to the /goform/SetIpBind endpoint. This affects all users running the vulnerable firmware version on Tenda WH450 routers. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication.
💻 Affected Systems
- Tenda WH450
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Remote code execution leading to complete router compromise, network traffic interception, credential theft, and lateral movement into connected networks.
Likely Case
Router compromise leading to denial of service, configuration changes, or installation of persistent malware for network monitoring.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if network segmentation prevents router access from untrusted networks and regular backups allow quick recovery.
🎯 Exploit Status
Public proof-of-concept code is available on GitHub, making exploitation straightforward for attackers with basic skills.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: Not available
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Check Tenda website for firmware updates
2. Download latest firmware for WH450
3. Access router web interface
4. Navigate to firmware upgrade section
5. Upload and apply new firmware
6. Reboot router after update
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network Access Control
linuxRestrict access to router management interface using firewall rules
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -s trusted_network -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP
Disable Remote Management
allTurn off web management interface or restrict to local network only
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Segment router onto isolated network VLAN with strict access controls
- Implement network monitoring for suspicious HTTP requests to /goform/SetIpBind endpoint
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check router firmware version via web interface at System Status or About page. If version is 1.0.0.18, device is vulnerable.Check Version:
curl -s http://router-ip/ | grep -i 'firmware\|version' or check web interfaceVerify Fix Applied:
After firmware update, verify version number has changed from 1.0.0.18 and test that /goform/SetIpBind endpoint responds properly to normal requests.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual HTTP POST requests to /goform/SetIpBind
- Router crash/reboot logs
- Large payloads in HTTP requests
Network Indicators:
- HTTP traffic to router on port 80 with abnormal request sizes
- Multiple failed exploitation attempts
