Vulnerability Data

Shenzhen Tenda F3 Wireless Router firmware V12.01.01.55_multi contains a sensitive information exposure vulnerability in the configuration download functionality. The configuration download response includes the router password and administrative password in plaintext. The endpoint also omits appropriate Cache-Control directives, which can…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement good match

Directly enforces policy-based information flow rules that block transmission of sensitive data to unauthorized actors.

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

Enforces authorizations on logical access so that sensitive data is not released to unauthorized recipients.

SI-15 Information Output Filtering good match

Requires validation of outbound information to ensure sensitive content is not disclosed in responses or messages.

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.

PR.PS-01 mostly match
prevents

Configuration baselines and enforcement directly require proper Cache-Control and related headers.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly prevent insertion of sensitive data into application outputs and messages.

DE.CM-09 partial match
prevents

Monitoring runtime data flows and outputs can detect sensitive data being transmitted.

PR.DS-02 partial match
prevents

Protecting data-in-transit can include filtering or encrypting to avoid exposing sensitive content.

PR.DS-10 partial match
prevents

Protecting data-in-use includes removing confidential values before they are processed or sent.

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.8.11 Data masking mostly match
prevents

Data-masking techniques can prevent sensitive values from appearing in transmitted payloads.

A.5.12 Classification of information partial match
mitigates

Classification identifies sensitive data so it is not inadvertently transmitted.

A.5.13 Labelling of information partial match
mitigates

Labelling makes sensitive data visible to developers and prevents accidental inclusion in outbound messages.

A.5.14 Information transfer partial match
mitigates

Information-transfer rules directly govern what data may be sent to external parties.

A.5.34 Privacy and protection of PII partial match
mitigates

PII-protection requirements reduce the chance of sending personal data to unauthorized recipients.

A.8.1 User end point devices partial match
degrades

Endpoint device configuration can enforce cache-clearing or no-cache policies for sensitive web content.
