CVE-2025-15518

Administrative command execution via wireless-control CLI injection

Published Mar 23, 2026 · Updated Mar 23, 2026

OS command injection in TP-Link Archer NX200, NX210, NX500 and NX600 firmware allows remote authenticated users to execute commands. The wireless-control administrative CLI incorporates crafted input into an operating-system command without neutralizing command elements. Administrative privileges and adjacent-network access are required; successful exploitation grants arbitrary command execution on the device.
