What we know

No known exploitation. CISA KEV, checked 22:08 UTC.
No public exploit code known. Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, checked 21:18 UTC.
An attacker has to be on the same network. CVSS: adjacent network.
It only works under certain conditions, which makes it harder to pull off. CVSS: high attack complexity.
A successful attack can change data. CVSS impact.

Description

An authentication flaw exists in the password-recovery functionality of TP-Link RE305 V3. The verification-code interface allows an unauthenticated attacker on the same local network to trigger generation of an administrator password-reset verification code. Because the interface lacks an effective attempt counter or lockout mechanism and uses a predictable verification-code generation process, an attacker may obtain or brute-force the code and reset the administrator password.  Successful exploitation may allow an unauthenticated attacker on the local network to reset the administrator password and subsequently access privileged device-management functions.
