Title
A vulnerable HTTP Basic Authentication process in TP-Link routers, Archer C5 and WR710N-V1, is susceptible to either a DoS or an arbitrary code execution via any interface.
Summary
In TP-Link routers, Archer C5 and WR710N-V1, running the latest available code, when receiving HTTP Basic Authentication the httpd service can be sent a crafted packet that causes a heap overflow. This can result in either a DoS (by crashing the httpd process) or an arbitrary code execution.

CVE-2022-4498 (GCVE-0-2022-4498)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-01-11 20:38 – Updated: 2025-11-04 19:14

Title
A vulnerable HTTP Basic Authentication process in TP-Link routers, Archer C5 and WR710N-V1, is susceptible to either a DoS or an arbitrary code execution via any interface.
Summary
In TP-Link routers, Archer C5 and WR710N-V1, running the latest available code, when receiving HTTP Basic Authentication the httpd service can be sent a crafted packet that causes a heap overflow. This can result in either a DoS (by crashing the httpd process) or an arbitrary code execution.

Title
The strcmp function in TP-Link routers, Archer C5 and WR710N-V1, used for checking credentials in httpd, is susceptible to a side-channel attack.
Summary
TP-Link routers, Archer C5 and WR710N-V1, using the latest software, the strcmp function used for checking credentials in httpd, is susceptible to a side-channel attack. By measuring the response time of the httpd process, an attacker could guess each byte of the username and password.
