CVE-2025-6542Network attack vector

Unauthenticated command execution via undisclosed input handling

Published Oct 21, 2025 · Updated Oct 21, 2025

OS command injection in TP-Link Festa, Omada, and Omada Pro Gateways allows remote attackers to execute commands without authentication. TP-Link has not disclosed the affected endpoint, parameters, or the operation that passes their values to an OS command interpreter. The management service is remotely reachable, requires no credentials for this path, and grants command execution on the gateway operating system.
