TP-Link AX55

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the EasyMesh module of TP-Link Archer AX55 v4. When Mesh mode is enabled, a LAN attacker may submit crafted input that causes the easymesh daemon to crash and may potentially achieve remote code execution on the device.

Successful exploitation may cause the EasyMesh daemon to crash and may potentially allow remote code execution when Mesh mode is enabled. This may result in high impact to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected device.

This vulnerability in AX53 v1, AX55 v4 and AX55 v4.6 results from insufficient input sanitization in the device’s probe handling logic, where unvalidated parameters can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow that causes the affected service to crash and, under specific conditions, may enable remote code execution through complex heap-spray techniques.

Successful exploitation may result in repeated service unavailability and, in certain scenarios, allow an attacker to gain control of the device.

A hard-coded cryptographic key vulnerability exists in the web module of TP-Link Archer AX55 v4. A LAN attacker who captures an HTTP login session may use the known shared RSA private key to decrypt the administrator password; the weakened AES session key further reduces the effort required to compromise session confidentiality.

Successful exploitation may disclose the administrator password captured from an HTTP login session and compromise session confidentiality.
