CVE-2025-15631: CWE-759 Use of a One-Way hash without a salt in TP-Link Systems Inc. Omada Gateways
A cryptographic weakness exists in affected Omada devices where site credentials are protected using a legacy hashing algorithm that does not provide sufficient protection. An attacker who obtains access to stored credential data may be able to recover valid credentials to gain unauthorized access to affected devices or management environments.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-15631 describes a cryptographic vulnerability in TP-Link Systems Inc. Omada Gateways where site credentials are hashed using a legacy algorithm lacking salting. This insufficient protection could enable attackers with access to stored credential data to recover valid credentials, potentially leading to unauthorized device or management environment access. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates the attack requires high complexity and privileges but no user interaction, with a medium overall impact. No remediation level or patches are currently documented, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
An attacker who gains access to stored credential hashes on affected Omada Gateways may be able to recover valid credentials due to the weak hashing method without salting. This could result in unauthorized access to the devices or their management interfaces. The vulnerability does not directly affect confidentiality, integrity, or availability beyond credential compromise, and exploitation requires high privileges and access complexity.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or remediation level is provided, users should monitor TP-Link advisories for updates. Until a fix is available, restricting access to stored credential data and employing strong access controls may reduce risk.
