Summary

The TP-Link TL-SG108E series exhibits a weakness in its access control mechanisms. This vulnerability allows any user behind a NAT network, who has an authenticated administrator, to gain unauthorized access to the device without needing to provide credentials. The device retains the authentication record for the IP address assigned to the NAT gateway, meaning that any individual connected to that gateway can exploit the authenticated session, enabling potential unauthorized interactions with the network device.
