DescriptionCVE.org

The use of hard-coded cryptographic key vulnerability has been identified in the mesh functionality of Deco XE75 v3, XE5300 v3.6 and WE10800 v3.6. A shared RSA-512 mesh group private key is present in the affected firmware and is used by the mesh protocol for node authentication.  An attacker who obtains the firmware image and has local network access may be able to authenticate as a mesh node without possessing a device-specific credential.

Successful exploitation may allow an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to impersonate a trusted mesh node and bypass mesh node authentication, which may permit unauthorized changes to device or mesh configuration, affecting confidentiality, integrity and availability.

AnalysisAI

Hard-coded RSA-512 mesh group private key in TP-Link Deco XE75 v3, XE5300 v3.6, and WE10800 v3.6 firmware allows an adjacent attacker to impersonate a trusted mesh node without possessing any device-specific credential. Because the same private key is shared across all affected devices and embedded in firmware images that TP-Link publishes publicly on its download portal, the barrier to key extraction is low. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two concrete preconditions: (1) the attacker must obtain the shared RSA-512 private key, achievable either by downloading and unpacking the publicly available firmware image from TP-Link's support portal, or potentially by factoring the RSA-512 modulus from observed public-key material in mesh traffic; and (2) the attacker must have adjacent network access to the mesh network - i.e., be on the same local network segment as at least one mesh node, whether via a wired connection, the same Wi-Fi SSID, or a guest network that is not fully isolated. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.7 (AV:A/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:L/SI:L/SA:L) reflects a credible but adjacent-only threat: exploitation is bounded to the local network segment, and AT:P acknowledges the precondition of firmware acquisition. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Update firmware to version 1.5.0 Build 20260603 or later, which is the vendor-released fix per EUVD-2026-64936. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all affected TP-Link devices (Deco XE75 v3, XE5300 v3.6, WE10800 v3.6) deployed in your organization and implement network segmentation to isolate mesh systems from business-critical infrastructure. …
