A password-disclosure issue in the web interface on certain TP-Link devices allows a remote attacker to get full administrative access to the web panel.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.64%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
