An unauthenticated attacker\non the same local network who can capture the network traffic associated with\nlegitimate administrator login may be able to derive an alternative credential\nvalue that produces the same accepted authentication result and use it to\nauthenticate to the device’s web-management interface with administrator\nprivileges. Exploitation requires the management login to use HTTP and the\nattacker to observe the session key, dictionary, and login value associated\nwith a legitimate administrator login.\n\n\n\n\n\nSuccessful\nexploitation may allow an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to gain\nadministrator access to the affected device and modify exposed configuration\nsettings.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":5.9},"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":["CWE-287"],"references":["https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/","https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/","https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/5344/"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T23:00:53.604569364+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-109506","score":0.00346,"percentile":0.27871,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
