CVE-2025-15605
A hardcoded cryptographic key within the configuration mechanism on TP-Link Archer NX200, NX210, NX500 and NX600 enables decryption and re-encryption of device configuration data.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.13%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
A hardcoded cryptographic key within the configuration mechanism on TP-Link Archer NX200, NX210, NX500 and NX600 enables decryption and re-encryption of device configuration data. An authenticated attacker may decrypt configuration files, modify them, and re-encrypt them, affecting the confidentiality and integrity of device configuration data.
