Notes: All devices running this specific firmware version are vulnerable by default. The /goform/SafeMacFilter endpoint is typically accessible via web interface.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Remote code execution leading to full router compromise, credential theft, network pivoting, and persistent backdoor installation.

🟠

Likely Case

Router takeover enabling traffic interception, DNS hijacking, and lateral movement into connected networks.

🟢

If Mitigated

Denial of service or limited impact if exploit attempts are blocked by network controls.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and affects internet-facing routers directly exposed to attackers.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal routers could be targeted through phishing or compromised internal hosts.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Public exploit details are available, making weaponization straightforward. The vulnerability requires no authentication.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None available at time of analysis

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Check Tenda website for firmware updates. 2. If update available, download and install via router web interface. 3. Reboot router after installation.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Block web interface access

linux

Restrict access to router web interface from untrusted networks

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j DROP

Disable remote management

all

Turn off remote administration features in router settings

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Replace vulnerable routers with patched or different models
  • Segment network to isolate vulnerable routers from critical assets

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Access router web interface, navigate to System Status or About page, check firmware version matches 1.2.0.14(408).

Check Version:

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

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version has changed from 1.2.0.14(408) to a newer version after update.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple POST requests to /goform/SafeMacFilter with large page parameters
  • Unusual process creation or memory errors 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/SafeMacFilter" AND (param_size>1000 OR status=500)
