CVE-2024-2559
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 problematic has been found in Tenda AC18 15.03.05.05. Affected is the function fromSysToolReboot of the file /goform/SysToolReboot. The manipulation leads to cross-site request forgery. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. VDB-257058 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
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 confidenceCSRF vulnerability in Tenda AC18 router firmware 15.03.05.05 allows remote attackers to trigger the device reboot function via the /goform/SysToolReboot endpoint without proper origin validation. An authenticated user visiting a malicious site can be tricked into unknowingly triggering the reboot.

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.
-
Confirm Tenda AC18 router modelCheck the device label on the router or log into the web interface and look for the model name in the status or system information pageAffected if Device is not a Tenda AC18 router
-
Check firmware versionLog into the router web interface and navigate to System Settings > Firmware Upgrade or System Status to find the firmware version, or access /goform/getSysInfo endpoint via curl if authenticatedAffected if Firmware version is NOT exactly 15.03.05.05
-
Verify web interface accessibilityCheck if the router's HTTP/HTTPS web interface (ports 80/443) is listening and accessible from the network using nmap or by attempting to access the router's IPAffected if Web interface is not accessible at all (vulnerability cannot be triggered)
-
Identify exposure scopeDetermine if the web interface is exposed to LAN only or also to WAN/internet by checking router network settings and testing remote accessAffected if Web interface is exposed to WAN (remote attackers can potentially reach it)
You are affected if you own a Tenda AC18 router running firmware version exactly 15.03.05.05 and its web interface is accessible (especially if exposed to WAN), allowing an authenticated user to be CSRF-attacked into rebooting the device.

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 dataSince the vendor did not respond and no patch is available, users should upgrade to a newer firmware version if available, disable remote administration interfaces, or implement network segmentation/firewalling to limit exposure to the router's web interface.
