CVE-2026-6024 is a medium-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Tenda I6 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 5.5 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 50th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); 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 AC-3 (Access Enforcement) 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.
CVE-2026-6024 is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) affecting Tenda i6 routers running firmware version 1.0.0.7(2204). The flaw resides in the R7WebsSecurityHandlerfunction of the HTTP Handler component, enabling manipulation that allows attackers to traverse directory paths.
The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by unauthenticated attackers with network access and no requirement for user interaction, as reflected in its CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L). Exploitation grants limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and the proof-of-concept exploit has been publicly disclosed, making it readily utilizable.
Advisories published on 2026-04-10 detail the issue on VulDB (https://vuldb.com/vuln/356600) and related CTI pages, with a disclosure repository on GitHub (https://github.com/Litengzheng/vuldb_new/blob/main/M3/vul_84/README.md). Practitioners should consult the vendor site (https://www.tenda.com.cn/) for patch information or mitigation steps.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.
Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.
Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.
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.
Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.
PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.
Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.
Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.
Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.
Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.
Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
