Summary

CVE-2025-11121 is a low-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Tenda Ac18 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 2.1 (Low).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 21.4% 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 are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).

Deeper analysis

A security vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-11121 affects the Tenda AC18 router running firmware version 15.03.05.19. The flaw resides in an unspecified function within the /goform/AdvSetLanip endpoint, where improper handling of the lanIp argument permits command injection. The issue is tracked under CWE-74 and CWE-77 and carries a low CVSS 4.0 base score of 2.1, reflecting the need for an authenticated remote attacker.

An authenticated remote attacker can supply a crafted lanIp value to the endpoint and execute arbitrary commands on the device. Public exploit code has been released, enabling potential use by anyone with valid credentials to the router's management interface. The attack requires no user interaction beyond network reachability and valid login privileges.

The EPSS score remains flat at 0.0111 with no observed increase after disclosure. Available references consist of a public proof-of-concept and vulnerability database entries but contain no vendor advisory or patch information from Tenda.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter Execution
Adversaries may abuse command and script interpreters to execute commands, scripts, or binaries.
T1202 Indirect Command Execution Stealth
Adversaries may abuse utilities that allow for command execution to bypass security restrictions that limit the use of command-line interpreters.
Why these techniques?

The unauthenticated remote command injection vulnerability in the /goform/AdvSetLanip web endpoint of the Tenda AC18 router enables exploitation of a public-facing application (T1190), abuse of command and scripting interpreters via injected OS commands (T1059), and indirect command execution (T1202, as mapped by VulDB).

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly requires validation and sanitization of the lanIp input parameter to block command injection into /goform/AdvSetLanip.

prevent

Mandates timely patching or firmware updates to eliminate the command-injection flaw in AdvSetLanip before exploitation.

prevent

Restricts authenticated users to the minimum privileges needed, limiting the impact of any successful lanIp injection.
