Technical details

A vulnerability (CWE-521) exists in the Tenda AC15 router (firmware 15.03.05.19) within the Samba component's configuration file (/etc_ro/smb.conf). The flaw stems from an unknown function that, when manipulated, results in weak password requirements for the service. The attack vector is restricted to the adjacent network (local network), and the exploit is considered high complexity due to the specific conditions required for successful manipulation. An attacker could potentially leverage this to gain unauthorized access to network shares. Public exploit code is reportedly available.
