Archer C64 v1.0, published on 28 May 2026. 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-2026-8697 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: TP-Link Systems Inc. Archer C64 v1.0. 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-2026-8697/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8697/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-8697","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8697/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-8697","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f294-r353-6vv8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"TP-Link Archer C64","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can brute-force SSH credentials due to missing rate limiting, gaining full administrative access to the router.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"TPLink","cpe":[{"product":"archer_c64_firmware","vendor":"tp-link"}],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-306","name":"Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality"},{"id":"CWE-288","name":"Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel"}],"description":"Due to improper enforcement of authentication rate-limiting on a debug SSH service in Archer C64 v1, the SSH service allows unlimited authentication attempts and uses the same credentials as the web interface.
