Command Injection in TP-Link Archer NX wireless-control administrative CLI
CVE-2025-15518 is a command injection vulnerability affecting TP-Link Archer NX200, NX210, NX500, and NX600 routers. The flaw is caused by improper input handling in a wireless-control administrative CLI command, where crafted input is incorporated into an operating system command without sufficient sanitization or neutralization. As a result, an authenticated attacker who already has administrative privileges can cause arbitrary commands to be executed on the underlying operating system of the device.
