An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-4498 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: TP-Link Archer C5. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4498/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4498/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-4498","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4498/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-4498","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8jpc-xwjw-7jcx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"TP-Link router","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A heap overflow in TP-Link routers' HTTP Basic Authentication allows attackers to cause denial of service or execute arbitrary code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"certcc","cpe":[{"product":"archer_c5_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-wr710n_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"In TP-Link routers, Archer C5 and WR710N-V1, running the latest available code, when receiving HTTP Basic Authentication the httpd service can be sent a crafted packet that causes a heap overflow.
