It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2023-50224 in the wild since at least 3 Sep 2025.\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-2023-50224/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-50224/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-50224","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-50224/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-50224","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g654-hw9f-49w6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"TP-Link router","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Network-adjacent attackers can exploit improper authentication in the httpd service to disclose stored credentials on TP-Link routers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"zdi","cpe":[{"product":"archer_c1900_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"archer_c5_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"archer_c7_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"mr3420_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"mr6400_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-mr3020_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-mr3220_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-wdr3600_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-wdr4300_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-wr710n_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-wr740n_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-wr741nd_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-wr743nd_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-wr810n_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-wr840n_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-wr841n_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-wr841nd_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-wr843n_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-wr902ac_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-wr940n_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-wr940n_plus_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"tl-wr941nd_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"wa701nd_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"wa801nd_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"wa901nd_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"wdr3500_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"wr1043nd_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"wr1045nd_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"wr749n_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"wr802n_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"wr841hp_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"wr842n_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"wr842nd_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"wr845n_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"wr941hp_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"},{"product":"wr945n_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-290","name":"Authentication Bypass by Spoofing"}],"description":"TP-Link TL-WR841N dropbearpwd Improper Authentication Information Disclosure Vulnerability.
