Tp Link · Tp-Link Tl-Wr940N · CVE-2022-24972
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
TP-Link TL-WR940N version 3.20.1 Build 200316 Rel.34392n (5553)
**Description**
The issue results from the lack of proper access control within the httpd service, which listens on TCP port 80 by default. This allows network-adjacent attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations without requiring authentication. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose stored credentials, leading to further compromise.
**Recommendations**
For TP-Link TL-WR940N version 3.20.1 Build 200316 Rel.34392n (5553), as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the httpd service until a patch is available. Additionally, avoid using default or weak credentials for the router's administration interface to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
