CVE-2025-25675
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 · uneditedTenda AC10 V1.0 V15.03.06.23 has a command injection vulnerablility located in the formexeCommand function. The str variable receives the cmdinput parameter from a POST request and is later assigned to the cmd_buf variable, which is directly used in the doSystemCmd function, causing an arbitrary command execution.
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 confidenceTenda AC10 V1.0 firmware V15.03.06.23 contains a command injection vulnerability in the formexeCommand function. The cmdinput parameter from POST requests is assigned to the str variable, then to cmd_buf, and passed directly to doSystemCmd without sanitization, allowing arbitrary OS command execution.

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 the device model and firmware versionAccess the device web interface or check via telnet/SSH, then navigate to System Settings > Firmware Version or use the 'ver' command via UART serial connection to retrieve the exact firmware version string.Affected if The firmware version is exactly 15.03.06.23 for Tenda AC10 V1.0 hardware revision.
-
Verify the web management interface is accessibleAttempt to reach the device's HTTP/HTTPS web interface on the LAN IP address or WAN IP if remote management is enabled. Confirm the Tenda login page loads successfully.Affected if The web interface responds and shows the Tenda AC10 login page.
-
Confirm authentication is possibleCheck if default administrative credentials (admin:admin or admin:password) are still in use, or determine if valid admin session cookies/tokens can be obtained through login.Affected if Default credentials grant administrative access or valid admin authentication tokens can be obtained.
-
Check if the formexeCommand endpoint is presentSend a POST request to /cgi-bin/formexeCommand with a cmdinput parameter (e.g., cmdinput=test) and observe the response. This endpoint handles the vulnerable function.Affected if The device returns a response (even an error) indicating the formexeCommand handler exists.
-
Determine network exposure of management interfaceReview device network configuration to check if remote management (WAN access) is enabled, or verify if the LAN interface is accessible to untrusted network segments.Affected if The web interface is reachable from WAN or from network segments outside the trusted LAN.
A user is affected if they are running Tenda AC10 firmware version 15.03.06.23 and the web management interface is accessible with valid credentials or default credentials.

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 dataUpgrade to a patched firmware version if available; otherwise, restrict network access to the device's web administration interface or replace the device if end-of-life.
