DescriptionCVE.org

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the firmware update functionality of TL-MR6400 v7 due to unsafe processing of attacker-controlled metadata within a firmware image.

Successful exploitation may allow an authenticated attacker to trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the affected device.

AnalysisAI

Stack-based buffer overflow in TP-Link TL-MR6400 v7 firmware update functionality enables an authenticated, adjacent-network attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution on the affected device. The flaw (CWE-121) arises from unsafe parsing of attacker-controlled metadata embedded in a firmware image, leading to memory corruption at the stack level. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires all of the following conditions simultaneously: (1) the attacker must have high-privilege (administrative) credentials to the TL-MR6400 v7 management interface - confirmed by PR:H in the CVSS 4.0 vector; (2) the attacker must have adjacent network access to reach the device management interface - confirmed by AV:A, meaning direct internet exploitation is not possible without prior network access or pivoting; (3) the target device must be running TL-MR6400 hardware version 7 firmware prior to the patched release. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.5 (AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) reflects high impact across all three CIA pillars but is substantially constrained by the adjacent network vector and high privilege requirement. … 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 Apply the patched firmware released by TP-Link for the TL-MR6400 v7, available at https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/tl-mr6400/v7/#Firmware. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
