GHSA-R43R-P9MV-G2FW
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-12-05 15:31 – Updated: 2024-12-05 15:31This vulnerability exists in the TP-Link Archer C50 due to presence of terminal access on a serial interface without proper access control. An attacker with physical access could exploit this by accessing the UART shell on the vulnerable device. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow the attacker to obtain Wi-Fi credentials of the targeted system.

Mitigation
When storing data in the cloud (e.g., S3 buckets, Azure blobs, Google Cloud Storage, etc.), use the provider's controls to encrypt the data at rest. [REF-1297] [REF-1299] [REF-1301]
Mitigation
In some systems/environments such as cloud, the use of "double encryption" (at both the software and hardware layer) might be required, and the developer might be solely responsible for both layers, instead of shared responsibility with the administrator of the broader system/environment.
