## What is CVE-2025-9291?

CVE-2025-9291 is a high-severity vulnerability in TP-Link Systems Inc. Omada Access Points, published on 3 Aug 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

A
certification validation weakness exists in communication between affected
Omada devices and cloud controllers. Certificate identity verification does not
adequately validate that a presented certificate corresponds to the expected
cloud controller hostname, which may allow certificate validation protections
to be bypassed under specific conditions.

Successful
exploitation may allow interception or modification of communication between
affected devices and cloud controllers.

Weakness: CWE-295 (Improper Certificate Validation)

Check this codebase for CVE-2025-9291 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2025-9291 is a high-severity vulnerability in TP-Link Systems Inc. Omada Access Points, published on 3 Aug 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-9291 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: TP-Link Systems Inc. Omada Access Points. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
