CVE-2024-10281
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 · uneditedA vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Tenda RX9 and RX9 Pro 22.03.02.10/22.03.02.20. Affected is the function sub_42EEE0 of the file /goform/SetStaticRouteCfg. The manipulation of the argument list leads to stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to launch the attack 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 · high confidenceStack-based buffer overflow in Tenda RX9/PRO routers (firmware 22.03.02.10/22.03.02.20) in the SetStaticRouteCfg function allows remote attackers to overflow a stack buffer via manipulated arguments, potentially enabling arbitrary code execution or denial of service.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify router modelAccess the router admin interface or check the device label to confirm the exact model is Tenda RX9 or RX9 ProAffected if Router is not a Tenda RX9 or RX9 Pro model, then not affected by this specific vulnerability
-
Check installed firmware versionLog into the router web interface and navigate to System Settings or Firmware Upgrade section to view the current firmware version; alternatively, check via CLI if availableAffected if Firmware version is exactly 22.03.02.10 or 22.03.02.20, then the router is running a vulnerable version
-
Verify remote management exposureCheck router firewall or access control settings to determine if the web management interface (HTTP/HTTPS on port 80/443) is reachable from the WAN/Internet rather than LAN onlyAffected if Remote administration is enabled and the router is directly accessible from the Internet, then the vulnerability is exploitable remotely
-
Confirm SetStaticRouteCfg function availabilityCheck if the Static Route configuration feature is accessible in the router web interface under Advanced or Network Settings; this function handles static route configurationAffected if The static route feature is present and accessible in the web interface, the vulnerable code path exists in the firmware
A user is affected if they own a Tenda RX9 or RX9 Pro router running firmware version 22.03.02.10 or 22.03.02.20 with remote web management enabled, allowing the SetStaticRouteCfg buffer overflow to be exploited remotely.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply vendor firmware update when available; immediately restrict access to the router's web management interface to trusted IPs only or disable remote administration to reduce attack surface until patch is released.
