Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A vulnerability was found in Tenda AC6, AC7, AC8, AC9, AC10, AC10U, AC15, AC18, AC500 and AC1206 up to 20241022. It has been rated as problematic. This issue affects the function websReadEvent of the file /goform/GetIPTV. The manipulation of the argument Content-Length leads to null pointer dereference. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A null pointer dereference vulnerability in Tenda AC series routers (multiple models AC6-AC1206) in the /goform/GetIPTV web handler allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by manipulating the Content-Length HTTP header, leading to a crash via the websReadEvent function.

MitigationUpdate router firmware to a version after 20241022; if no update available, restrict access to the router's web management interface from untrusted networks or disable the affected GetIPTV functionality.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Tenda router model
    Log into the router admin panel (typically at 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) and locate the device information or status page to confirm the exact AC model (AC6, AC7, AC9, AC10u, AC15, AC18, AC500, or AC1206)
    Affected if Router is not a Tenda AC series model from the affected product list
  2. Check installed firmware version
    In the router admin panel, navigate to System Settings, Firmware Upgrade, or Status page and record the firmware version number
    Affected if Firmware version matches any of these: AC15: 15.03.05.18 or 15.03.05.19; AC7: 15.03.06.44; AC10u: 15.03.06.48 or 15.03.06.49; AC500: 1.0.0.14, 1.0.0.16, or 2.0.1.9(1307); AC18: 15.03.05.05 or 15.03.05.19(6318); AC9: 15.03.2.13, 15.03.05.14, 15.03.05.19(6318), or 15.03.06.42; AC1206: 15.03.06.23; AC6
  3. Verify web management interface accessibility
    Attempt to access the router login page from an external network (WAN) or check router firewall settings to confirm if port 80/443 is exposed to untrusted networks
    Affected if The router web interface is accessible from outside the local network (WAN side)
  4. Confirm GetIPTV handler exists
    Send an HTTP request to http://[router-ip]/goform/GetIPTV and observe if the router responds (even with an error)
    Affected if The /goform/GetIPTV endpoint responds, indicating the vulnerable handler is present

User is affected if they have a Tenda AC series router matching one of the listed models AND running one of the specific firmware versions AND the web interface is exposed to network attackers.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Update router firmware to a version after 20241022; if no update available, restrict access to the router's web management interface from untrusted networks or disable the affected GetIPTV functionality.
