CVE-2025-15605

Enriched by CISA
 

A hardcoded cryptographic key within the configuration mechanism on TP-Link Archer NX200, NX210, NX500 and NX600 enables decryption and re-encryption of device configuration data. An authenticated attacker may decrypt configuration files, modify them, and re-encrypt them, affecting the confidentiality and integrity of device configuration data.

CWE-321 : Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key
The product uses a hard-coded, unchangeable cryptographic key. Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.) Prevention schemes mirror that of hard-coded password storage. Engineering Workstation uses hard-coded cryptographic keys that could allow for unathorized filesystem access and privilege escalation Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) uses a hard-coded SSH private key that is likely to be used by default. WiFi router service has a hard-coded encryption key, allowing root access Communications / collaboration product has a hardcoded SSH private key, allowing access to root account
