An issue was discovered on TP-Link TL-WR1043ND V2 devices. The credentials can be easily decoded and cracked by brute-force, WordList, or Rainbow Table attacks. Specifically, credentials in the "Authorization" cookie are encoded with URL encoding and base64, leading to easy decoding. Also, the username is cleartext, and the password is hashed with the MD5 algorithm (after decoding of the URL encoded string with base64).

Se descubrió un problema en los dispositivos TP-Link TL-WR1043ND V2. Las credenciales se pueden descodificar y descifrar fácilmente mediante ataques de fuerza bruta, WordList o Rainbow Table. Específicamente, las credenciales en la cookie de "Autorización" están codificadas con codificación de URL y base64, lo que lleva a una fácil descodificación. Además, el nombre de usuario es texto claro y la contraseña se revisa con el algoritmo MD5 (después de descodificar la cadena codificada en URL con base64).
