CVE-2025-15608
9.8 · CRITICALOverview
CVE-2025-15608 is a critical-severity vulnerability affecting tp-link archer_ax53_firmware. It was published on March 20, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 (CRITICAL).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, rated CRITICAL. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.
Technical Description
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.
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from tp-link. Update archer_ax53_firmware to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
