TP-Link Gaming Router Vulnerability Exposes Users to Remote Code Attacks

TP-Link Gaming Router Vulnerability Exposes Users to Remote Code Attacks

May 28, 2024 Vulnerability / Network Security
A maximum-severity security flaw has been disclosed in the  TP-Link Archer C5400X gaming router  that could lead to remote code execution on susceptible devices by sending specially crafted requests. The vulnerability, tracked as  CVE-2024-5035 , carries a CVSS score of 10.0. It impacts all versions of the router firmware including and prior to 1_1.1.6. It has been patched in  version 1_1.1.7  released on May 24, 2024. "By successfully exploiting this flaw, remote unauthenticated attackers can gain arbitrary command execution on the device with elevated privileges," German cybersecurity firm ONEKEY  said  in a report published Monday. The issue is rooted in a binary related to radio frequency testing "rftest" that's launched on startup and exposes a network listener on TCP ports 8888, 8889, and 8890, thus allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to achieve code execution. While the network service is designed to only accept commands that start with "
Critical Security Vulnerabilities Discovered in Netcomm and TP-Link Routers

Critical Security Vulnerabilities Discovered in Netcomm and TP-Link Routers

Jan 18, 2023 Network Security
Security vulnerabilities have been disclosed in Netcomm and TP-Link routers, some of which could be weaponized to achieve remote code execution. The flaws, tracked as  CVE-2022-4873  and  CVE-2022-4874 , concern a case of stack-based buffer overflow and authentication bypass and impact Netcomm router models NF20MESH, NF20, and NL1902 running firmware versions earlier than R6B035 . "The two vulnerabilities, when chained together, permit a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code," the CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC)  said  in an advisory published Tuesday. "The attacker can first gain unauthorized access to affected devices, and then use those entry points to gain access to other networks or compromise the availability, integrity, or confidentiality of data being transmitted from the internal network." Security researcher  Brendan Scarvell  has been credited with discovering and reporting the issues in October 2022. In a related developme
Sailing the Seven Seas Securely from Port to Port – OT Access Security for Ships and Cranes

Sailing the Seven Seas Securely from Port to Port – OT Access Security for Ships and Cranes

Oct 28, 2024Operational Technology / Cybersecurity
Operational Technology (OT) security has affected marine vessel and port operators, since both ships and industrial cranes are being digitalized and automated at a rapid pace, ushering in new types of security challenges. Ships come to shore every six months on average. Container cranes are mostly automated. Diagnostics, maintenance, upgrade and adjustments to these critical systems are done remotely, often by third-party vendor technicians. This highlights the importance of proper secure remote access management for industrial control systems (ICS).  Learn more in our Buyer's Guide for Secure Remote Access Lifecycle Management .  We at SSH Communications Security (SSH) have been pioneering security solutions that bridge the gap between IT and OT in privileged access management . Let's investigate how we helped two customers solve their critical access control needs with us.
