Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
A Zip Slip vulnerability in the WebUI ISP Upgrade functionality allows arbitrary file write via a crafted archive containing directory traversal sequences. An authenticated administrator may overwrite arbitrary files on the system.Successful exploitation may allow arbitrary file to overwrite on the underlying system, affecting system integrity and availability.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary file write via Zip Slip path traversal in TP-Link's WebUI ISP Upgrade functionality affects three LTE router models - TL-MR6400 v5.3, Archer MR600 v2, and Archer MR200 v7. An authenticated administrator on the adjacent network can upload a crafted archive containing directory traversal sequences (e.g., '../../') to overwrite arbitrary files on the underlying system, compromising integrity and potentially availability. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified; vendor-released patches are available as of mid-2026.
Technical ContextAI
CWE-22 (Path Traversal) manifests here as a classic Zip Slip variant: when the WebUI ISP Upgrade feature extracts a firmware or ISP configuration archive, it fails to sanitize file entry paths before writing to disk, allowing entries like '../../etc/passwd' to land outside the intended extraction directory. The affected CPEs (cpe:2.3:a:tp-link_systems_inc.:tl-mr6400_v5.3, archer_mr600_v2, archer_mr200_v7) are TP-Link 4G/LTE mobile broadband routers running embedded Linux. The vulnerability resides in the archive-extraction logic of the web management interface, a component shared across multiple router variants. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:A) confirms that exploitation requires adjacency to the router's management network - typically the LAN or local Wi-Fi segment.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor-released firmware patches immediately. For TL-MR6400 v5.3, upgrade to firmware Build 260613 RC.76099n or later via https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/tl-mr6400/v5.30/#Firmware. For Archer MR600 v2, upgrade to firmware Build 260618 RC.40417n or later via https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/archer-mr600/v2/#Firmware. For Archer MR200 v7, upgrade to firmware Build 260605 Rel.57870n or later via https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/archer-mr200/v7/#Firmware. Full advisory is available at https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/faq/5237/. As a compensating control where immediate patching is not possible, restrict administrative access to the WebUI to a dedicated management VLAN and remove administrative privileges from all non-essential accounts - this directly addresses the PR:H prerequisite. Disabling the ISP Upgrade functionality in the WebUI, if the router interface permits it, would eliminate the vulnerable code path entirely with no impact on normal routing operation.
