Authentication Bypass Information Disclosure in TP-Link TL-WR841N httpd
CVE-2023-50224 is an improper authentication flaw affecting TP-Link TL-WR841N routers. The vulnerability exists in the device's embedded httpd service, which listens on TCP port 80 by default. Due to improper authentication handling, a network-adjacent attacker can send crafted HTTP GET requests without prior authentication and retrieve sensitive information from the router, including stored credentials or keys. Public reporting and government advisories indicate the flaw has been used to obtain router credentials and then facilitate follow-on administrative changes such as modification of DHCP/DNS settings on compromised devices.
