Summary

The TP-Link TL-WR902AC devices, specifically version v3.0.9.1, are susceptible to a remote code execution vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to exploit inadequate signature checks during firmware updates. This can lead to arbitrary code execution or a Denial of Service (DoS). Attackers can upload malicious firmware, potentially compromising the integrity and availability of the device, thus posing a significant security risk that affects users relying on this product for their networking needs.

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.
