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 CH22 1.0.0.1. This affects the function formSafeEmailFilter of the file /goform/SafeEmailFilter. Performing a manipulation of the argument page results in memory corruption. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been made public and could 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 confidence

Memory corruption vulnerability in Tenda CH22 router web interface (firmware 1.0.0.1). The formSafeEmailFilter function in /goform/SafeEmailFilter does not properly validate the 'page' parameter, allowing an attacker to trigger memory corruption remotely. Public exploit available.

MitigationApply vendor firmware patch if available; if no patch exists, disable the web interface or replace the device. Implement network segmentation to limit exposure to untrusted networks.

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 the device model
    Access the router admin panel or check the device label to confirm it is a Tenda CH22 router. Alternatively, use network scanning to identify the device manufacturer and model via HTTP headers or services.
    Affected if The device is not a Tenda CH22 router.
  2. Check the firmware version
    Log into the router web interface and navigate to the System Settings or Status page to view the firmware version. Alternatively, use the router's API or check the download page provided by Tenda for the device.
    Affected if The installed firmware version is exactly 1.0.0.1.
  3. Verify the web interface is accessible
    Attempt to access the router's web interface by navigating to its IP address (commonly 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) in a web browser. Confirm the login page loads.
    Affected if The web interface is exposed and accessible from the network.
  4. Confirm the vulnerable endpoint exists
    Send an HTTP GET or POST request to http://<router-ip>/goform/SafeEmailFilter using a tool like curl or Burp Suite. Observe if the endpoint responds or returns any error messages.
    Affected if The /goform/SafeEmailFilter endpoint is reachable and responds to requests.
  5. Check if SafeEmailFilter feature is enabled
    Log into the router admin panel and look for Email Filter, Safe Email Filter, or similar security filtering features in the web interface menus. Check if the feature can be configured or is currently active.
    Affected if The SafeEmailFilter feature is enabled or configurable on the device.

A user is affected if they are running Tenda CH22 firmware version 1.0.0.1 with the web interface accessible and the SafeEmailFilter feature present.
