VAR-201704-1324
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-20 23:36vsftpd on TP-Link C2 and C20i devices through firmware 0.9.1 4.2 v0032.0 Build 160706 Rel.37961n has a backdoor admin account with the 1234 password, a backdoor guest account with the guest password, and a backdoor test account with the test password. TP-Link C2 and C20i The device firmware contains a vulnerability related to certificate and password management.Information is obtained, information is altered, and service operation is disrupted (DoS) An attack may be carried out. TP-LINKC2 and C20i are all wireless router products of China TP-LINK. Vsftpd is a server running on a UNIX-like operating system. TP-LinkC2 and C20i have security bypass vulnerabilities that allow remote attackers to exploit special vulnerabilities to submit special requests to bypass security restrictions and perform unauthorized operations. There is a security vulnerability in vsftpd in TP-Link C2 and C20i using firmware 0.9.1 4.2 v0032.0 Build 160706 Rel.37961n and earlier
