CVE-2023-51972Network attack vector

Unauthenticated command execution via LAN IP input

Published Jan 10, 2024 · Updated Sep 3, 2024

Command injection in Tenda AX1803 firmware 1.0.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands through fromAdvSetLanIp. The public record identifies fromAdvSetLanIp as the vulnerable locus but does not disclose which LAN-setting field reaches a command interpreter or how neutralization fails. No authentication or user interaction is required; successful exploitation runs attacker-chosen commands in the router firmware context.
