Pre-auth command execution via unchecked ATE arguments
Published Oct 10, 2024 · Updated Oct 10, 2024
OS command injection in Tenda AC1206 firmware 15.03.06.23 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute commands through /goform/ate. A request to /goform/ate starts an ATE UDP listener on port 7329; ate_ifconfig_set accepts unchecked arguments, while ate_iwpriv_set passes attacker input to iwpriv_wlan_set for direct execution. No authentication is required, and successful exploitation runs arbitrary device commands with the firmware service's privileges.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
