TL-WR841N v14: Out-of-bounds Read
CVE-2026-3622 is a high-severity out-of-bounds read vulnerability in TL-WR841N v14 from TP-Link, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 0.9.1 4.19 as the first without the flaw, so updating TL-WR841N v14 to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.35% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update TL-WR841N v14 to 0.9.1 4.19 or a later version.
- Update Tl-wr841n Firmware to 0.9.1_4.19 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on tp-link.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
The vulnerability exists in the UPnP component of TL-WR841N v14, where improper input validation leads to an out-of-bounds read, potentially causing a crash of the UPnP service. Successful exploitation can cause the UPnP service to crash, resulting in a Denial-of-Service condition.
