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 weakness has been identified in Tenda i3 1.0.0.6(2204). The affected element is the function R7WebsSecurityHandler of the component HTTP Handler. Executing a manipulation can lead to path traversal. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could 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 · moderate confidence

Path traversal vulnerability in Tenda i3 router firmware 1.0.0.6(2204) affecting the R7WebsSecurityHandler function within the HTTP Handler component, allowing remote attackers to access unauthorized files or directories via specially crafted HTTP requests.

MitigationIf vendor firmware update is available, apply it immediately. Otherwise, implement network segmentation to isolate the device and add input validation/filtering on the HTTP handler to block path traversal sequences (../, etc.).

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
    Check the device label, admin interface, or SSH login banner for the exact model name (Tenda i3)
    Affected if The device is a Tenda i3 router
  2. Determine the installed firmware version
    Access the router admin panel (typically at 192.168.0.1) and look for the firmware version in System Settings or Status, or check via CLI if telnet/SSH is enabled
    Affected if The firmware version is exactly 1.0.0.6(2204)
  3. Verify HTTP Handler accessibility
    Attempt to access the HTTP service on the router (port 80 or 443) from the network
    Affected if The HTTP Handler component is exposed and responding
  4. Confirm remote access exposure
    Check if the router HTTP interface is accessible from WAN/external networks, or review firewall/NAT rules that may expose port 80/443 externally
    Affected if The HTTP Handler is reachable from outside the local network

A user is affected if they are running Tenda i3 firmware version 1.0.0.6(2204) and the HTTP Handler is accessible, especially from external networks.
