CVE-2025-15627 (GCVE-0-2025-15627)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-03 17:49 – Updated: 2026-08-03 18:33

Title

Hardcoded Cryptographic Keys in TP-Link Omada Adoption Protocol Authentication

Summary

A cryptographic weakness exists in the Omada adoption protocol. The protocol relies on hard-coded cryptographic keys to establish trust and protect authentication exchanges between controllers and managed devices during device adoption. An attacker may be able to impersonate trusted controllers or managed devices and gain access to sensitive adoption-related communications.

Severity

6.9 (Medium)
