VAR-202508-2044

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-11-19 23:25

A security flaw has been discovered in Tenda AC20 16.03.08.12. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /etc_ro/shadow. The manipulation leads to hard-coded credentials. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Shenzhen Tenda Technology Co.,Ltd. of AC20 The firmware contains vulnerabilities related to the use of hard-coded passwords and vulnerabilities related to the use of hard-coded credentials.Information is obtained, information is tampered with, and service operation is interrupted. (DoS) It may be in a state. The Tenda AC20 is a home router released by Tenda.

The Tenda AC20 suffers from a hardcoded credential vulnerability caused by hardcoded credentials in the /etc_ro/shadow file. This vulnerability could be exploited to compromise confidentiality
