Oh, For Fucking Christ’s Sake: TP-Link Routers Are Still Shitty

Right, listen up. CISA – those clowns over at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency – have *finally* noticed that a bunch of TP-Link routers are riddled with vulnerabilities. CVE-2023-50224 and CVE-2025-9377 to be precise. Shocking, I tell you. Absolutely fucking shocking.

Apparently, some asshole is actively exploiting these things. What a surprise. These flaws let them mess with your DNS settings – meaning they can redirect you to whatever phishing site or malware delivery system they feel like. It affects a whole heap of models, so if you’re running TP-Link, consider yourself warned. And by “warned” I mean “immediately replace it with something that doesn’t actively try to get hacked.”

CISA is telling everyone to update their firmware *now*. Which is great advice, assuming TP-Link actually releases a fix in a timely manner and doesn’t just leave you hanging. Don’t hold your breath on that one.

Honestly, the fact these things are still being sold is an indictment of… well, everything. Go buy a better router. Seriously. Your data deserves better than this garbage.

  I once had to clean up a network where someone thought it was a good idea to use 30 TP-Link routers, all with default passwords, for a “critical infrastructure” project. Thirty! It took me three days and an ungodly amount of caffeine just to get the botnet under control. Don’t be that guy.
