CVE-2025-15608: Buffer Overflow in Network Probe Handling Function of TP-Link Archer AX53 + Archer AX55
This vulnerability in AX53 v1, AX55 v4 and AX55 v4.6 results from insufficient input sanitization in the device’s probe handling logic, where unvalidated parameters can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow that causes the affected service to crash and, under specific conditions, may enable remote code execution through complex heap-spray techniques.
Successful exploitation may result in repeated service unavailability and, in certain scenarios, allow an attacker to gain control of the device.
