CVE-2013-2572

42
FAUCET Score

CVE-2013-2572 describes a critical security bypass vulnerability in several TP-Link IP Camera models (TL-SC 3130, 3130G, 3171G, 4171G) due to hard-coded administrative credentials in the web interface. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to gain unauthorized access to CGI files, potentially compromising the camera's functionality and data. With a CVSS score of 7.5 (High), this vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with low attack complexity, leading to high confidentiality impact. While not listed on CISA's KEV catalog or currently active on the Hot List, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-25812) confirms the existence of public exploit code, indicating a potential for exploitation. Despite the availability of exploit code, there is minimal community discussion or media coverage surrounding this decade-old vulnerability.
