The security issue exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application.

Additionally, Tenda M3 V1.0.0.12(4856) is prone to a high severity cross-site scripting vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to perform a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.

It is also possible to hack an application running on Tenda M3 V1.0.0.12(4856) by installing a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack. An attacker can exploit this issue to steal sensitive information such as credit card numbers, passwords, and so on, via a phishing attack.

Lastly, Tenda M3 V1.0.0.12(4856) has a high severity information leak vulnerability. Attackers can exploit this issue to expose sensitive data to the external world.

END users and administrators are advised to patch their systems as quickly as possible to avoid being hacked, and protect themselves against these malicious threats.

Thanks to Hacking Team for these details.
