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 security flaw has been discovered in Tenda CH22 1.0.0.1. This impacts the function fromAddressNat of the file /goform/addressNat. Performing a manipulation of the argument page results in buffer overflow. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks.

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

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Tenda CH22 router firmware 1.0.0.1 within the fromAddressNat function of /goform/addressNat. The 'page' parameter is not properly validated before use in a memory copy operation, allowing an attacker to overflow a fixed-size buffer and potentially achieve remote code execution on the device.

MitigationApply available firmware updates from Tenda; if no update exists, disable remote administration or place the device behind a firewall to limit exposure to the web interface.

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. Confirm Tenda CH22 router model
    Access the router web admin interface (typically at 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) and check the device model information in the Status or System settings page. Alternatively, check the device label on the physical router hardware.
    Affected if The device model is not Tenda CH22, the vulnerability does not apply.
  2. Check installed firmware version
    In the router web admin interface, navigate to System Settings > Firmware Upgrade or Status page and locate the firmware version field. Note the exact version number displayed.
    Affected if The installed firmware version is exactly 1.0.0.1 - this is the only affected version per the CVE.
  3. Verify /goform/addressNat endpoint accessibility
    Send an HTTP GET request to http://<router-ip>/goform/addressNat using a tool like curl or a browser. If the page loads or returns any response (even an authentication redirect), the endpoint exists and may be reachable.
    Affected if The endpoint responds and the router web interface is accessible from your network, the attack surface exists.
  4. Check if NAT functionality is enabled
    In the router web admin interface, navigate to Advanced Settings > NAT or Address NAT settings. Verify whether the NAT feature is currently enabled or configured.
    Affected if NAT functionality is enabled, the vulnerable fromAddressNat function is active and the device is potentially exploitable.

A Tenda CH22 router running firmware version 1.0.0.1 with the /goform/addressNat web interface accessible and NAT functionality enabled is affected by this vulnerability.
