AI description
CVE-2024-57040 is a vulnerability found in TP-Link TL-WR845N routers. Specifically, it affects version 4 firmware releases, including versions 200909 and 190219. The vulnerability stems from a hardcoded password for the root account being present within the router's firmware. This hardcoded password can be obtained through methods such as a brute-force attack. If successful, an attacker could gain unauthorized root-level access to the device, potentially leading to a compromise of the entire system and the ability to intercept network traffic.
- Description
- TL-WR845N(UN)_V4_200909 and TL-WR845N(UN)_V4_190219 was discovered to contain a hardcoded password for the root account which can be obtained by analyzing downloaded firmware or via a brute force attack through physical access to the router.
