Summary

CVE-2026-82694 is a missing authentication vulnerability in the Web UI of Tenda AC1206 firmware 15.03.06.23. The flaw resides in the R7WebsSecurityHandler function that handles requests to the /goform/ate endpoint, allowing a remote, unauthenticated attacker to invoke privileged device functionality without providing any credentials. The issue has been rated CRITICAL with a CVSS score of 10.0, and a public exploit is available.

Technical details

  • Root cause: the /goform/ate endpoint, handled by the R7WebsSecurityHandler function in the device’s Web UI, does not enforce authentication before processing requests.
  • Trigger condition: an attacker sends a crafted HTTP request directly to the /goform/ate endpoint on the exposed management interface.
  • Attack vector: network-based, requiring no authentication, user interaction, or local access — the interface only needs to be reachable.
  • Impact: unauthenticated remote attackers can invoke the affected function to bypass authentication controls entirely, potentially leading to full compromise of the device’s confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Affected software

  • Tenda AC1206, firmware version 15.03.06.23 (Web UI component)

Severity

  • CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 10.0 (CRITICAL)
  • CVSS v3.1 Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Mitigation and recommended actions

  • Immediate: check with Tenda for an updated firmware release beyond version 15.03.06.23 that addresses this issue and apply it as soon as it is available; no vendor-confirmed patched version has been published at the time of this writing.
  • If no patch is available: remove the device’s Web UI and /goform/ate endpoint from direct internet exposure, restrict management interface access to trusted internal networks only (e.g., via firewall rules or VPN), and disable remote management if not required.
  • Monitor for unsolicited or anomalous requests to /goform/ate on internet-facing Tenda AC1206 devices, and consider replacing end-of-life or unsupported hardware.

How IONIX’s External Exposure Management Platform Detects and Validates
Zero-Days to Shrink MTTR

1

Map your entire attack surface (continously)

IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods, including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, metadata inspection, and more, to automatically map every internet-facing asset across your environment. This includes cloud instances, third-party platforms, shadow IT, and even forgotten infrastructure that traditional tools miss.

2

Monitor for new CVEs

Dozens of threat intel feeds using agentic technology are continuously analyzed to detect the appearance of proof-of-concept code, exploit kits, and indicators of active targeting. IONIX goes further by applying AI to proactively evaluate whether emerging vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited, even before PoCs go public.

3

Identify Potential External Exposures

Not all CVEs matter. IONIX filters vulnerabilities by asking attacker-centric questions: Can it be reached from the internet? Does it require authentication? Is it being exploited in the wild? This dramatically reduces noise and focuses teams on threats that can actually be weaponized.

4

Create Safe, Scalable Exploit Validations

IONIX transforms real-world PoCs into safe, non-intrusive test payloads that can be run in production environments without disruption. These simulations are precisely targeted to the systems that are vulnerable, ensuring rapid validation without unnecessary load.

5

Execute Exploit Validations

By combining context about software stack, versioning, exposure status, and reachability, IONIX ensures that only the right payloads are executed against the right assets, maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk.

6

Drive Fast and Actionable Remediation

Results are routed through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and empowers teams to act with confidence.
