VulnerabilityCVE-2026-5509cvecve-2026-5509cwe-20
Published: 05/27/2026 (05/27/2026, 17:26:47 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: TP-Link Systems Inc.
Product: Archer BE7200 V1

Description

An authenticated command injection vulnerability exists in the Archer BE450 v1 and BE7200 v1 router that allows an administrator to execute arbitrary system commands through the web management interface. After successfully authenticating to the admin interface, an attacker can leverage the browser’s developer console by supplying a crafted input that is passed to backend system commands without adequate sanitization. Successful exploitation enables execution of arbitrary commands with elevated privileges on the device, which may allow the attacker to start unauthorized services, modify system configuration, or otherwise fully compromise the router’s operating environment.

Technical Analysis

This vulnerability involves improper input validation (CWE-20) in the web management interface of TP-Link Archer BE450 v1 and BE7200 v1 routers. After authenticating as an administrator, an attacker can inject commands via crafted input passed to backend system commands without adequate sanitization. This enables arbitrary command execution with elevated privileges on the device, potentially allowing full control over the router's operating environment. The CVSS 4.0 score is 8.5, reflecting high impact and low attack complexity given administrative access. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated administrator to execute arbitrary system commands with elevated privileges on the affected routers. This can result in unauthorized service execution, modification of system configurations, and full compromise of the device's operating environment. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict administrative access to the router's web interface to trusted personnel only and monitor for suspicious activity. Avoid exposing the management interface to untrusted networks.
