CVE-2023-50224 is an improper-authentication vulnerability in the HTTP management service of TP-Link TL-WR841N routers. An unauthenticated network-adjacent attacker can submit crafted HTTP requests to bypass authentication controls and retrieve credentials or other sensitive authentication information stored on the router. The disclosed credentials can enable subsequent administrative access and device reconfiguration.
