- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=no, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Public exploit code: 1 GitHub repo listed by PoC-in-GitHub
- Fixed in: V4_260304, V14_260303, V6_260304
- Published: 2026-03-13 · Updated: 2026-07-01

## Affected

- TP-Link Systems Inc. TL-WR802N v4: fixed in V4\_260304
- TP-Link Systems Inc. TL-WR841N v14: fixed in V14\_260303
- TP Link Systems Inc. TL-WR840N v6: fixed in V6\_260304

## Description

A command injection vulnerability was identified in TP-Link TL-WR802N v4, TL-WR841N v14, and TL-WR840N v6 due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command. In the router configuration import function allows an authenticated attacker to upload a crafted configuration file that results in execution of OS commands with root privileges during port-trigger processing. Successful exploitation allows an authenticated attacker to execute system commands with root privileges, leading to full device compromise.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on TP-Link Systems Inc. TL-WR802N v4, TP-Link Systems Inc. TL-WR841N v14, TP Link Systems Inc. TL-WR840N v6, upgrade to a fixed version (V4_260304, V14_260303, V6_260304) per the references below.
