CVE-2023-6304
About
A vulnerability was found in Tecno 4G Portable WiFi TR118 TR118-M30E-RR-D-EnFrArSwHaPo-OP-V008-20220830. It has been declared as critical. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /goform/goform_get_cmd_process of the component Ping Tool. The manipulation of the argument url leads to os command injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. VDB-246130 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
Rainforest analyst review
The Tecno 4G Portable WiFi TR118 has an OS command injection in its Ping Tool: the url argument to /goform/goform_get_cmd_process reaches a shell unsanitized, so a crafted value runs arbitrary system commands on the device. That's full command execution on a portable router, and a public exploit (VDB-246130) exists — though the vector marks the path as requiring high privileges, and the vendor, per the disclosure, never responded.
The privilege gate and the device class together shape a specific threat model. This is a diagnostic feature normally behind the admin interface, so the abuser is someone who already has elevated access — or who first defeated the login — using the ping field to break out to the OS. The vendor's silence is the bigger long-term problem: no acknowledgment strongly implies no patch, so exposure is likely permanent for anyone running this hardware.
We rank the immediate injection below the unauthenticated router RCEs because of the high-privilege requirement, but we weight the no-patch reality heavily. Our practical stance is to restrict who can reach the admin interface and, given the abandoned-support signal, plan for replacement rather than remediation. A portable router whose vendor won't respond is a device to retire, not to depend on a fix for.
