CVE-2025-29089 is a vulnerability identified in the TP-Link AX10 Ax1500 router, specifically in firmware version 1.3.10 Build (20230130). The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information from the device. Although the exact nature of the sensitive information is not detailed, such vulnerabilities typically involve unauthorized access to configuration data, credentials, or network traffic details. The flaw is exploitable remotely, which implies that an attacker does not require physical access to the device and can potentially leverage this vulnerability over the internet or local network. No authentication or user interaction requirements are specified, suggesting the attack vector could be unauthenticated. The absence of a CVSS score and detailed technical specifics limits the granularity of the analysis, but the fact that sensitive information disclosure is possible indicates a significant breach of confidentiality. There are no known exploits in the wild at the time of publication, and no patches or mitigation links have been provided, indicating that the vulnerability might be newly disclosed or not yet fully addressed by the vendor. The TP-Link AX10 Ax1500 is a widely used consumer-grade Wi-Fi 6 router, commonly deployed in home and small office environments. Given the router’s role as a network gateway, compromise or information leakage could facilitate further attacks such as network reconnaissance, man-in-the-middle attacks, or unauthorized network access.

For European organizations, especially small businesses and home offices relying on TP-Link AX10 routers, this vulnerability poses a risk to network confidentiality and potentially integrity. Disclosure of sensitive information could lead to exposure of network configurations, credentials, or internal IP addressing schemes, enabling attackers to pivot deeper into organizational networks or intercept communications. While large enterprises may use more robust network infrastructure, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and remote workers are likely to be more affected due to the popularity and affordability of this router model. The impact could extend to disruption of business operations if attackers leverage the information to conduct further attacks such as ransomware or data exfiltration. Additionally, critical infrastructure entities or government offices using these devices in less secure environments could face espionage or sabotage risks. The lack of patches increases the window of exposure, and the remote exploitability heightens the threat level, especially in environments with poor network segmentation or weak perimeter defenses.

Given the absence of official patches, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. These include: 1) Isolating the TP-Link AX10 routers on segmented network zones with strict firewall rules to limit inbound and outbound traffic to trusted sources only; 2) Disabling remote management interfaces and services on the router to reduce exposure; 3) Regularly monitoring network traffic for unusual patterns that may indicate exploitation attempts; 4) Changing default credentials and using strong, unique passwords for device administration; 5) Applying any available firmware updates from TP-Link as soon as they are released; 6) Considering replacement of vulnerable devices with models that have confirmed security updates and better vendor support; 7) Employing network intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) to detect exploitation attempts; 8) Educating users about the risks of using vulnerable routers and encouraging secure network practices. Organizations should also maintain close communication with TP-Link for updates and advisories regarding this vulnerability.
