Summary

The Tenda W18E router version V16.01.0.8(1625) is susceptible to an access control vulnerability that allows unauthorized users to change the administrator password. By exploiting this flaw, an unauthenticated remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the router's setLoginPassword function, effectively bypassing the intended authentication measures. This weakness highlights significant security risks for network management and user data protection. Proper mitigation strategies should be implemented to safeguard against such unauthorized access.
