Details and sources

TP-Link TL-WR841N dropbearpwd Improper Authentication Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of TP-Link TL-WR841N routers. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the httpd service, which listens on TCP port 80 by default. The issue results from improper authentication. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose stored credentials, leading to further compromise. Was ZDI-CAN-19899.

Unauthenticated Command Injection via DHCP Option Handling in Multiple TP-Link Routers

CVE-2026-11834

Affected firmware
Before 1.7.0 Build 260413
Fix
Fix details in the linked record
Read TPLink CVE record
Details and sources

A command injection vulnerability has been identified in the DHCP option processing logic in multiple TP-Link router models, due to insufficient validation of externally supplied DHCP option data. An adjacent attacker may exploit this vulnerability by supplying crafted DHCP responses, potentially resulting in unauthorized command execution during device initialization or provisioning workflows. This typically occurs when the device is in a factory-default or unconfigured state.

Successful exploitation may allow an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges, potentially leading to full compromise of the affected device and unauthorized administrative control.

Command Injection Vulnerability in Telnet CLI on TP-Link TL-MR6400

CVE-2026-3841

Affected firmware
Before 1.9.0 Build 260108
Fix
Fix details in the linked record
Read TPLink CVE record
Details and sources

A command injection vulnerability has been identified in the Telnet command-line interface (CLI) of TP-Link TL-MR6400 v5.3. This issue is caused by insufficient sanitization of data processed during specific CLI operations. An authenticated attacker with elevated privileges may be able to execute arbitrary system commands. Successful exploitation may lead to full device compromise, including potential loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

CVSS 7.1 (v4.0)

TL-MR6400 v7.0

Unauthenticated Denial of Service via Composed HTTP Parsing and Stack-Based Out-of-Bounds Write Vulnerability in TL-MR6400 Web Management Interface

CVE-2026-17252

Affected firmware
Before 1.9.0 Build 260714
Fix
Fix details in the linked record
Read TPLink CVE record
Details and sources

A stack-based out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the login request handling functionality of the administrative web interface of TP-Link TL-MR6400 v7 routers. An unauthenticated adjacent attacker can trigger the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted malformed HTTP request.

Successful exploitation may cause the web service process to crash, resulting in a denial-of-service condition and temporary loss of access to the router's web management interface.
