CVE-2026-6024
Published: 10 April 2026
Summary
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 48.0th 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 are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
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.
