Executive Summary

CVE-2025-15608 is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the TP-Link Archer AX53 v1 router caused by insufficient input sanitization in the device’s network probe handling function.

Unvalidated parameters in the probe handling logic can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow, which leads to service crashes.

Under certain complex heap-spray attack conditions, this vulnerability may enable remote code execution, allowing an attacker to gain control of the device.
