CVE-2025-15544: TP-Link Omada device adoption cryptographic weakness

CVE-2025-15544 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.9 · Published 2026-08-03

TP-Link's Omada network management system uses a weak hashing algorithm during device adoption to protect site management credentials. An attacker who intercepts adoption traffic can recover valid credentials and gain unauthorized access to managed network devices or the central controller.

Technologies: TP-Link Omada. Vendors: TP-Link.

Quick answers

Is CVE-2025-15544 exploited in the wild?
No. Junglewise Threat Intelligence has no report of CVE-2025-15544 being exploited in the wild.

No fixed version is recorded yet. Check the vendor's advisory in the references below. If you run it, Junglewise drafts a mitigation that fits your setup and applies it once you approve, with senior security engineers behind it.
How is CVE-2025-15544 attacked?
It is attacked over the network, in a network appliance.
Am I affected by CVE-2025-15544?
Check whether you run TP-Link Omada, TP-Link Omada Ds1008x, TP-Link Omada Ds1008x Firmware or one of the others listed at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

Technical details

This vulnerability stems from the use of an insufficiently strong hashing algorithm to protect authentication credentials transmitted during the Omada device adoption process. The weak cryptographic implementation fails to provide adequate security for site management credentials. An attacker positioned to intercept network traffic during device adoption (network-level access required) can recover valid credentials and use them to gain unauthorized access to Omada-managed devices or the controller. No user interaction is required beyond normal device adoption procedures. Patches addressing this cryptographic weakness are likely available from TP-Link.
