CVE-2026-24432: Tenda W30E V2 Missing CSRF Protections for Administrative Actions
Shenzhen Tenda W30E V2 firmware versions up to and including V16.01.0.19(5037) lack cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protections on administrative endpoints, including those used to change administrator account credentials. As a result, an attacker can craft malicious requests that, when triggered by an authenticated user’s browser, modify administrative passwords and other configuration settings.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
A Tenda W30E V2 router administrator could be tricked into making browser-based changes without intending to. The reported impact includes changing administrator credentials and configuration settings. This is not described as actively exploited, but it can undermine control of network equipment if administrators use the management interface from risky browsing contexts.
Executive priority
Treat this as a moderate-priority network device hardening issue. It is not supported as actively exploited in the provided sources, but credential or configuration changes on edge or routing equipment can create meaningful operational and security risk.
Technical view
CVE-2026-24432 is a CWE-352 CSRF issue in Shenzhen Tenda W30E V2 firmware up to and including V16.01.0.19(5037). Administrative endpoints reportedly lack CSRF protections, allowing attacker-crafted requests to be executed by an authenticated user’s browser. CVSS v4.0 is 5.1 with low integrity impact and required user interaction.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely where Tenda W30E V2 devices are deployed and administrators access the web management interface. Risk increases if the admin interface is reachable from broad internal networks or if administrators browse untrusted sites while authenticated to the router console.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not identify active exploitation, and the CVE is not listed as KEV. Exploitation depends on user interaction by an authenticated administrator. The impact described is unauthorized administrative changes, including password and configuration modification, through the administrator’s browser session.
Researcher notes
The record names CSRF on administrative endpoints, including credential-change functions. Evidence provided does not include patch details, exploit availability, or proof of active abuse. Validate only in authorized environments and focus on exposure, firmware state, interface reachability, and unexpected administrative changes.
Mitigation direction
Check Tenda guidance for updated firmware or vendor-recommended remediation.
Restrict management interface access to trusted admin networks or VPN paths.
Avoid using the admin browser session for general web browsing.
Log out of the management interface when administrative work is complete.
Review and rotate administrator credentials after remediation if compromise is suspected.
Validation and detection
Inventory Tenda W30E V2 devices and record firmware versions.
Identify devices running V16.01.0.19(5037) or earlier.
Confirm management interfaces are not broadly reachable.
Review configuration history for unexpected administrator or settings changes.
Monitor vendor and VulnCheck advisories for patch status updates.

These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
