Pre-authentication command execution via unsanitized ATE packets
Published Dec 30, 2025 · Updated Dec 30, 2025
OS command injection in Tenda W6-S 1.0.0.4(510) allows remote attackers to execute commands through crafted ATE Service UDP packets. The unauthenticated /goform/ate handler starts /bin/ate on UDP port 7329, where the iwpriv path passes unsanitized packet content to doSsytemCmd. Network access to the HTTP endpoint and UDP port is sufficient; injected commands run with the ATE process privileges and can read or alter device data or interrupt service.
