Authenticated reboot via HTTP stack overflow
Published Jun 29, 2026 · Updated Jun 29, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in TP-Link TL-WR841N v14 allows remote authenticated users to reboot the router via crafted HTTP requests. The embedded web server overflows a stack buffer while handling the requests, but TP-Link has not disclosed the vulnerable handler or exact write operation. Exploitation requires high-privileged authentication and adjacent-network access, and the bounded impact is a device crash followed by an automatic reboot.
