CISA Alerts Users: Active Exploitation of TP-Link Router Flaws
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a critical alert about vulnerabilities in popular TP-Link router models, specifically the Archer C7 and TL-WR841N two of the most popular WiFi Routers, which are being actively exploited by cybercriminals. Two significant flaws, one allowing OS command injection and the other enabling authentication bypass, pose serious risks to users, especially since affected models may no longer receive security updates. CISA recommends immediate action for users of these devices, emphasizing the necessity of maintaining updated firmware and replacing outdated equipment to secure networks. This incident highlights ongoing cybersecurity challenges, particularly the vulnerability of consumer networking equipment against evolving threats.
