CVE-2026-86149: Tenda CP3 OS command injection via interface_name argument

CVE-2026-86149 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.1 · Published 2026-09-05

Executive brief

Tenda CP3 is a network management device used for monitoring and control of network infrastructure. A remote attacker can inject arbitrary OS commands through the interface_name/host parameter in the network ping functionality, allowing complete system compromise without requiring authentication.

Technical details

This vulnerability is a classic OS command injection flaw in the NetCheckPing.cpp component of Tenda CP3. The vulnerable code fails to properly sanitize the interface_name or host parameter before passing it to system commands, allowing an attacker to concatenate shell metacharacters and arbitrary commands. The attack is network-accessible and requires no prior authentication or user interaction. Successful exploitation allows remote code execution with the privileges of the affected service, typically enabling full system takeover. A patch or upgrade is recommended; check Tenda's official security advisories for available updates.
