What is CVE-2019-6971?

A serious vulnerability exists in TP-Link TL-WR1043ND V2 devices that allows attackers to exploit the HTTP authentication mechanism. By sending a crafted cookie within an HTTP authentication packet to the router's management web interface, an attacker gains unauthorized control over the device without needing the actual credentials. This poses significant security risks as it enables potential manipulation and misuse of the router's configuration, impacting the overall network integrity.
