Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-10-18 19:00 – Updated: 2022-10-20 19:00

Details

The web app client of TP-Link AX10v1 V1_211117 uses hard-coded cryptographic keys when communicating with the router. Attackers who are able to intercept the communications between the web client and router through a man-in-the-middle attack can then obtain the sequence key via a brute-force attack, and access sensitive information.

Severity ?

5.9 (Medium)
