Description
TP-LINK IPC TL-IPC223(P)-6, TL-IPC323K-D, TL-IPC325(KP)-*, and TL-IPC40A-4 devices allow authenticated remote code execution via crafted JSON data because /usr/lib/lua/luci/torchlight/validator.lua does not block various punctuation characters.
Exploitation
Not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue as of 2026.09.04. That is an absence of confirmed public exploitation, not evidence that exploitation has not occurred. EPSS models a 1.8% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
