CVE-2025-10442Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated command execution via unsanitized cmdinput

Published Sep 15, 2025 · Updated Sep 15, 2025

OS command injection in Tenda AC9 and AC15 15.03.05.14 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands. The formexeCommand handler passes the cmdinput request parameter from /goform/exeCommand directly to doSystemCmd without validation or shell metacharacter neutralization. Valid management credentials and network access to the router interface are required, after which injected commands run with the management service's device privileges.
