CVE-2026-24426
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 · uneditedShenzhen Tenda AC7 firmware version V03.03.03.01_cn and prior contain an improper output encoding vulnerability in the web management interface. User-supplied input is reflected in HTTP responses without adequate escaping, allowing injection of arbitrary HTML or JavaScript in a victim’s browser context.
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 confidenceReflected XSS vulnerability in Tenda AC7 router firmware where user-supplied input to the web management interface is returned in HTTP responses without proper HTML/JavaScript encoding, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts into victim browsers.

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 router modelLog into the router admin interface or check the device label to verify the model is Tenda AC7Affected if The device is a Tenda AC7 router
-
Check installed firmware versionAccess the router web management interface and navigate to System Settings or Firmware Upgrade section to view the current firmware version; alternatively, check via CLI if availableAffected if The firmware version is 03.03.03.01 or lower
-
Verify web management interface accessibilityAttempt to access the router login page via HTTP on the default management port (usually 80 or 8080) from the networkAffected if The web management interface is reachable from untrusted networks (such as the internet or guest networks)
-
Identify vulnerable parameterReview HTTP requests and responses in the web interface for reflected parameters; specifically look for query string or form parameters that are echoed back in the response without encodingAffected if User-supplied input in HTTP parameters is returned in responses without HTML/JavaScript encoding
The device is affected if it is a Tenda AC7 router running firmware version 03.03.03.01 or lower AND the web management interface is accessible to the attacker.

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 dataUpdate firmware to a version beyond V03.03.03.01_cn; if unavailable, restrict administrative web interface access to trusted networks only.
