Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in TP-Link AX53. It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is some unknown processing. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

This vulnerability in AX53 v1, AX55 v4 and AX55 v4.6 results from insufficient input sanitization in the device’s probe handling logic, where unvalidated parameters can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow that causes the affected service to crash and, under specific conditions, may enable remote code execution through complex heap-spray techniques. Successful exploitation may result in repeated service unavailability and, in certain scenarios, allow an attacker to gain control of the device.

The weakness was released by samuzora. The advisory is available at tp-link.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2025-15608 since 03/10/2026. The exploitation is known to be difficult. Access to the local network is required for this attack to succeed. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.
