Descriptions

The web application backup file in the TP-Link EAP Controller and Omada Controller versions 2.5.4_Windows/2.6.0_Windows is encrypted with a hard-coded cryptographic key, so anyone who knows that key and the algorithm can decrypt it. A low-privilege user could decrypt and modify the backup file in order to elevate their privileges. This is fixed in version 2.6.1_Windows.

El archivo de copia de seguridad de la aplicación web en TP-Link EAP Controller y Omada Controller en versiones 2.5.4_Windows/2.6.0_Windows está cifrado con una clave criptográfica embebida, por lo que cualquiera que conozca dicha clave y el algoritmo puede descifrarlo. Un usuario con pocos privilegios puede descifrar y modificar el archivo de copia de seguridad para elevar sus privilegios. Esto se ha solucionado en la versión 2.6.1_Windows.

TP-Link EAP suffers from hard-coded credential, cross site request forgery, cross site scripting, and other vulnerabilities.
