CVE-2023-49429Network attack vector

Unauthenticated SQL injection via crafted MAC parameter

Published Dec 7, 2023 · Updated Aug 28, 2024

SQL injection in Tenda AX9 Firmware 22.03.01.46 allows remote attackers to alter database queries through a crafted mac parameter. The setDeviceInfo handler at /goform/setModules incorporates the attacker-controlled value into an SQL command without neutralizing SQL syntax. Successful injection executes attacker-selected database operations without credentials or user interaction.
