CVE-2026-5153Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated command execution via unfiltered mac parameter

Published Mar 30, 2026 · Updated Mar 30, 2026

OS command injection in Tenda CH22 firmware 1.0.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands through a crafted mac parameter. FormWriteFacMac passes the mac value from /goform/WriteFacMac directly to doSystemCmd without neutralizing shell metacharacters. Low-privileged access to the management endpoint is required, after which injected operating-system commands run on the router.
