- →Exploit traffic is HTTP POST to the exact URI /boaform/formPing (URI length is exactly 17 bytes); match on this endpoint to identify exploitation attempts.
- →POST body must contain the parameter 'pingAddr=' (URL-encoded as pingAddr|3d|); presence of shell metacharacters immediately after the value — semicolon (;/%3B), newline (%0A), backtick (`/%60), pipe (|/%7C), or dollar sign ($/%24) — indicates command injection.
- →Traffic is expected in plaintext (no TLS); deploy detection at the network perimeter and internally on flat/IoT segments.
- →This CVE is being actively exploited by a Mirai variant targeting IoT devices; correlate detections with subsequent outbound C2 or scanning activity.
- ·Vulnerable device is specifically the Tenda ONT GPON AC1200 Dual band WiFi HG9 v1.0.1; the Ping function in the web management interface (/boaform/formPing) does not sanitise user input, enabling OS command injection. ↗
- ·The PCRE in the Snort rule anchors to the start of the pingAddr value and stops matching at '&' (\x26), meaning it only inspects the first parameter value; multi-parameter payloads that place the injection after an '&' separator would not be caught by this rule as written.
