Summary

The TP-Link EAP Controller and Omada Controller versions 2.5.4_Windows and 2.6.0_Windows contain a vulnerability that permits low-privileged users to interact with the Web API without appropriate authorization. This flaw allows these users to execute requests that should only be available to administrators. To mitigate this issue, it is essential to upgrade to version 2.6.1_Windows, which addresses the privilege control deficiency.
