What to do now

  1. Check whether your Tenda AC15 AC1900 router is running firmware 15.03.05.19 and whether /goform/setUsbUnload is reachable from your network.
  2. Contact your router vendor/IT support for the official firmware update for Tenda AC15 AC1900 that fixes CVE-2020-10987, and plan an immediate upgrade.
  3. Until you patch, block access to the router’s web management endpoints from the internet (only allow management from your internal network/VPN, and deny WAN-originated requests).
  4. After updating, verify the router is no longer on 15.03.05.19 and review router and web-access logs for any requests to /goform/setUsbUnload.
