Summary

The TP-Link Archer C50 V3 devices prior to Build 200318 Rel. 62209 contain a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to initiate a denial of service (DoS). This can be achieved by sending a specially crafted HTTP header with an unexpected Referer field, potentially disrupting services and impacting network performance.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
