Tp-Link: >> Tl-Wr840n Firmware >> 0.9.1_3.16 Security Vulnerabilities
A command injection vulnerability was identified in TP-Link TL-WR802N v4, TL-WR841N v14, and TL-WR840N v6 due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command. In the router configuration import function allows an authenticated attacker to upload a crafted configuration file that results in execution of OS commands with root privileges during port-trigger processing.
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated attacker to execute system commands with root privileges, leading to full device compromise.

TP-Link TL-WR840N v5 00000005 devices allow XSS via the network name. The attacker must log into the router by breaking the password and going to the admin login page by THC-HYDRA to get the network name. With an XSS payload, the network name changed automatically and the internet connection was disconnected. All the users become disconnected from the internet.
