VAR-201204-0036

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-11 23:09

The default configuration of the TP-Link 8840T router enables web-based administration on the WAN interface, which allows remote attackers to establish an HTTP connection and possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors. TP-Link 8840T Has a problem with the remote management feature enabled by default. ADSL It is a router with a built-in modem TP-Link 8840T Since the remote management function is enabled by default, the management screen may be accessed from the outside.A remote attacker may access the product management screen and change the settings. The TP-Link 8840T is a DSL router. Unauthenticated remote attackers can bypass the security restrictions to access the WEB interface. TP-Link 8840T is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability
