Unauthenticated administrative access via URL traversal
Published Apr 9, 2026 · Updated Apr 9, 2026
Path traversal in Tenda i3 firmware 1.0.0.6(2204) allows remote attackers to access protected administration pages without authentication. R7WebsSecurityHandler trusts public URL prefixes without canonicalizing the remaining path before authorization. A crafted path such as /lang/../system_upgrade.asp reaches a protected page and grants unauthenticated administrative access over HTTP.
