Deeper analysis

CVE-2022-28557 is a command injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-78, affecting the web interface of the Tenda AC15 router running firmware US_AC15V1.0BR_V15.03.05.20_multi_TDE01.bin. The flaw resides at the /goform/setsambacfg endpoint and carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, reflecting network-accessible exploitation with no required credentials or user interaction and full impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The issue can be chained with CVE-2021-44971 to enable unconditional arbitrary command execution.

An unauthenticated attacker with network access can supply crafted input to the vulnerable endpoint and achieve remote code execution on the device. The published EPSS score of 0.1601 indicates moderate exploitation probability with no material rise from a lower baseline after disclosure. Public technical details are available in the referenced GitHub repository, though no vendor advisory or patch information is provided in the source data.
