Unauthenticated router crash via malformed login parameters
Published Nov 1, 2024 · Updated Nov 5, 2024
Null-pointer dereference in TP-Link Archer MR200 Firmware 210201 allows remote attackers to crash the router through /cgi/login requests. The web administration panel dereferences a null pointer while processing crafted sign, Action, or LoginStatus query parameters. The endpoint requires no authentication; LAN clients can reach management by default, while internet reachability requires remote management to be enabled.
