Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2025-15605 describes a vulnerability found in several TP-Link Archer NX series routers, specifically the NX200, NX210, NX500, and NX600 models. This flaw stems from a hardcoded cryptographic key embedded within the devices' configuration mechanism. An authenticated attacker can exploit this hardcoded key to decrypt configuration files, make unauthorized modifications, and then re-encrypt them. This capability compromises the confidentiality and integrity of the router's configuration data.

Description
A hardcoded cryptographic key within the configuration mechanism on TP-Link Archer NX200, NX210, NX500 and NX600 enables decryption and re-encryption of device configuration data. An authenticated attacker may decrypt configuration files, modify them, and re-encrypt them, affecting the confidentiality and integrity of device configuration data.
