CVE-2025-29089 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting the TP-Link AX10 Ax1500 router firmware version 1.3.10 Build (20230130). This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information without requiring any authentication or user interaction. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 reflects the significant confidentiality impact, with no impact on integrity or availability. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and no user interaction needed (UI:N). The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-200, which corresponds to the exposure of sensitive information to unauthorized actors. Although no specific affected versions beyond the stated firmware build are provided, the vulnerability is confirmed as published and assigned a CVE identifier. No known exploits have been reported in the wild, and no patches or mitigation links are currently available. The lack of authentication and user interaction requirements means that an attacker can remotely and directly exploit this flaw to extract sensitive data from the device, potentially including configuration details, credentials, or other confidential information stored or processed by the router. This type of vulnerability can be leveraged as a foothold for further network intrusion or surveillance activities.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to network security and data confidentiality. Routers like the TP-Link AX10 are commonly deployed in small to medium-sized enterprises and home office environments, which may lack robust security monitoring. An attacker exploiting this flaw could gain access to sensitive network configuration data or credentials, enabling lateral movement within corporate networks or interception of internal communications. This could lead to data breaches, espionage, or disruption of business operations. The confidentiality breach could also expose personally identifiable information (PII) of employees or customers, triggering compliance issues under GDPR. Given the remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit, attackers can target vulnerable devices en masse, increasing the risk of widespread compromise. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk, but the availability of detailed CVE information may facilitate future exploit development. Organizations relying on this router model should consider the potential for targeted attacks, especially in sectors with sensitive data or critical infrastructure.

Organizations should immediately inventory their network devices to identify any TP-Link AX10 Ax1500 routers running firmware version 1.3.10 Build (20230130). Until an official patch is released, network administrators should implement compensating controls such as isolating these devices from untrusted networks, restricting remote management access via firewall rules, and disabling any unnecessary services that could expose sensitive information. Monitoring network traffic for unusual access patterns to the router's management interfaces is advised. Employing network segmentation to limit the exposure of vulnerable devices and enforcing strict access controls can reduce attack surface. Additionally, organizations should subscribe to vendor advisories and CVE databases to promptly apply firmware updates once available. If feasible, replacing affected devices with models that have no known vulnerabilities or that receive timely security updates is recommended. Regularly auditing router configurations and credentials can also help detect and mitigate potential exploitation attempts.
