CVE-2024-9793 is a medium-severity Command Injection (CWE-77) vulnerability in Tenda Ac1206 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 3% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
A command injection vulnerability exists in the Tenda AC1206 wireless router firmware up to version 15.03.06.23. The flaw resides in the ate_iwpriv_set and ate_ifconfig_set functions within the /goform/ate endpoint and stems from improper handling of attacker-supplied input, corresponding to CWE-77 and CWE-78. The issue received a CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 and can be triggered over the network without user interaction.
An authenticated attacker with low privileges can send crafted requests to the affected endpoint and execute arbitrary operating-system commands on the device. Successful exploitation yields limited effects on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the router but requires no special conditions beyond network reachability. Public proof-of-concept reports detail the injection technique and confirm that the vendor did not respond to disclosure.
The referenced GitHub reports and Vuldb entries contain technical descriptions and exploit details but provide no official patches or mitigation guidance, consistent with the vendor’s lack of response. The EPSS score has remained flat at 0.10 with no material increase since publication, and no information on in-the-wild exploitation is available.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover command-construction flaws before deployment.
Input validation directly stops construction of commands from untrusted data containing special elements.
Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.
Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.
Secure engineering principles include proper neutralization and safe command construction practices.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and neutralization that prevent command injection.
Runtime monitoring of software and data can detect anomalous command execution resulting from injection.
Identifying recorded vulnerabilities enables remediation of command-injection flaws before exploitation.
Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure coding standards require proper escaping and parameterization of commands, directly eliminating CWE-77.
Security testing in development catches command-injection vulnerabilities before release.
Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and command construction practices that directly prevent command injection.
Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection flaws including command injection.
Secure architecture principles reduce the attack surface but do not prescribe the specific neutralization techniques needed.
Environment separation limits the blast radius of an exploited command injection but does not prevent the flaw itself.
