Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Compensating control

    Block or restrict network access to the vulnerable endpoint path on affected devices: deny incoming HTTP(S) POST requests to "/goform/setUsbUnload" (the Tenda AC15 USB unload endpoint) at the perimeter firewall, WAF, or router ACL. If access is required, allow only from specific trusted management IP addresses.

  2. Operational

    Search webserver/device logs and network proxies for POST requests to "/goform/setUsbUnload" (look for requests containing the deviceName parameter). Investigate any such requests for signs of exploitation and, if compromise is suspected, isolate the device and restore from a known-good backup or factory reset.
