Archer C20 V5, published on 16 Jul 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-6982 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: TP-Link Systems Inc. Archer C20 V5. 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-2025-6982/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-6982/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-6982","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-6982/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-6982","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5j4q-7r76-c92w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"TP-Link wireless router","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can decrypt configuration files using hardcoded DES keys, exposing sensitive router settings.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"TPLink","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-798","name":"Use of Hard-coded Credentials"}],"description":"Use of Hard-coded Credentials in TP-Link Archer C50 V3(\n\n\u003c=\n\n180703)/V4(\n\n\u003c=\n\n250117\n\n)/V5(\n\n\u003c=\n\n200407\n\n), and C20 V5 (\u003cUS_V5_260419 or \u003cEU_V5_260317) allows attackers to decrypt the config.xml files.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Hardcoded DES Decryption Keys in TP-Link Archer C50 V3/V4/V5 and C20 V5","id":"CVE-2025-6982","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Clickjacking vulnerability on the management web application of TP-LINK Archer C1200","id":"CVE-2025-6983"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in Enterprise Server","id":"CVE-2025-6981"},"products":["Archer C20 V5","Archer C50 V3","Archer C50 V4","Archer C50 V5"],"published":"2025-07-16","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-22","vendors":["TP-Link Systems Inc."]},"summary":"Attackers can decrypt configuration files using hardcoded DES keys, exposing sensitive router settings.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-6982/"}
