Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2025-15136 is a command injection vulnerability affecting the TRENDnet TEW-800MB router in version 1.0.1.0. The flaw resides in the do_setWizard_asp function within the /goform/wizardset file of the Management Interface, where manipulation of the WizardConfigured argument triggers the injection. Published on 2025-12-28, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and maps to CWEs-74 and CWE-77.

Attackers with low privileges (PR:L) can exploit this remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). Successful exploitation enables arbitrary command execution, resulting in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H).

Advisories indicate the vendor was contacted early regarding the disclosure but provided no response. No patches or mitigations are detailed from the vendor, while the exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be used, with references including VulDB entries and a Notion site detailing the issue.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can discover command-construction flaws before deployment.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

SI-10 directly requires validation of information inputs to reject malformed or special-element content before it reaches downstream parsers.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Secure engineering principles include proper neutralization and safe command construction practices.

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.

A.8.28 Secure coding mostly match
prevents

Secure coding standards require proper escaping and parameterization of commands, directly eliminating CWE-77.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing in development catches injection vulnerabilities before release.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
finds

Logging supports detection of injection attempts but does not prevent the weakness.

A.8.16 Monitoring activities partial match
finds

Monitoring activities can identify active injection attacks after they occur.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevent injection flaws.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection attacks in software design.
