Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: TP-Link Systems Inc.
Product: TL-MR6400 v8

Description

An authenticated directory traversal vulnerability in file upload functionality has been identified in Archer MR600 (v2, v3 & v5) and TL-MR6400 v8. Due to insufficient validation of user-supplied file information, an authenticated remote attacker with access to the affected upload functionality could upload a specially crafted file and cause it to be written outside the intended directory. Successful exploitation could allow an authenticated remote attacker to write files to unintended locations, potentially overwriting or modifying files accessible to the affected service; arbitrary code execution has not been demonstrated.

Technical Analysis

This vulnerability (CVE-2026-76652) involves improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory (CWE-22) in the file upload feature of TP-Link Archer MR600 (v2, v3, v5) and TL-MR6400 v8 routers. Due to insufficient validation of user-supplied file paths, an authenticated remote attacker can perform directory traversal to write files outside the intended upload directory. This can result in overwriting or modifying files accessible by the affected service. No arbitrary code execution has been demonstrated. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates the attack requires local network access with high privileges and no user interaction.

Potential Impact

An authenticated remote attacker with access to the upload functionality can write files outside the intended directory, potentially overwriting or modifying files used by the affected service. This could disrupt service operation or integrity but does not currently demonstrate code execution or privilege escalation.

Mitigation Recommendations

No vendor advisory or patch information is provided. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict authenticated access to the upload functionality and monitor for suspicious file uploads.
