CVE-2023-28760
High 7.5
In plain English
A high-severity stack buffer overflow in the affected software. Proof-of-concept exploit code is public. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 3.4% (higher than 89% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
TP-Link AX1800 WiFi 6 Router (Archer AX21) devices allow unauthenticated attackers (on the LAN) to execute arbitrary code as root via the db_dir field to minidlnad. The attacker obtains the ability to modify files.db, and that can be used to reach a stack-based buffer overflow in minidlna-1.1.2/upnpsoap.c. Exploitation requires that a USB flash drive is connected to the router (customers often do this to make a \\192.168.0.1 share available on their local network).
