CVE-2026-19891: Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data in TRENDnet TEW-WLC100
A vulnerability was determined in TRENDnet TEW-WLC100 2.05b02. This affects an unknown function of the file /etc/racoon.conf of the component IKE Phase 1 Aggressive Mode. This manipulation of the argument exchange_mode causes missing encryption of sensitive data. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitability is reported as difficult. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects TRENDnet TEW-WLC100 version 2.05b02 in the IKE Phase 1 Aggressive Mode component. Specifically, manipulation of the exchange_mode argument in the /etc/racoon.conf file causes sensitive data to be transmitted without encryption. The flaw allows remote attackers to potentially intercept sensitive information. The attack complexity is high, and exploitability is difficult. The vendor was contacted early, but no remediation level or patch information is provided.
Potential Impact
Sensitive data may be exposed due to missing encryption during the IKE Phase 1 Aggressive Mode negotiation. This could lead to information disclosure if an attacker successfully exploits the vulnerability remotely. However, the high complexity and difficulty of exploitation reduce the likelihood of widespread impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider limiting remote access to the affected device and monitor for updates from TRENDnet.
