Deeper analysis

Tenda M3 firmware version 1.10 V1.0.0.12(4856) contains a command injection vulnerability in the /goform/WriteFacMac endpoint. The flaw is tracked as CVE-2022-26290 with a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8 and is classified under CWE-78. The affected component accepts unsanitized input that is passed directly to an operating-system command, enabling arbitrary command execution on the device.

An unauthenticated attacker with network access can supply a crafted request to the web-management interface and obtain full control of the device, including the ability to read, modify, or delete data and to disrupt service. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the attack can be carried out remotely over the network.

Public proof-of-concept code demonstrating the injection has been published on GitHub, but no vendor advisory or firmware update addressing the issue is referenced in the available sources. The EPSS score reached a peak of 0.1406 and currently stands at 0.1285.
