CVE-2026-3622
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe 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. This vulnerability affects TL-WR841N v14 < EN_0.9.1 4.19 Build 260303 Rel.42399n (V14_260303) and < US_0.9.1.4.19 Build 260312 Rel. 49108n (V14_0304).
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceA high-severity out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the UPnP service of TP-Link TL-WR841N v14 routers due to improper input validation. The flaw allows remote attackers to trigger a crash of the UPnP daemon, resulting in denial of service.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm router modelAccess the router web interface (typically at 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) and check the device model number in the status or system information page. Alternatively, check the physical device label for 'TL-WR841N' and look for 'v14' marking.Affected if The router is not a TP-Link TL-WR841N v14, the vulnerability does not apply.
-
Check installed firmware versionIn the router web interface, navigate to System Tools > Firmware Upgrade or Status page. The current firmware version is displayed there. Compare it to the affected version range: any version before 0.9.1_4.19 (including EN_0.9.1 4.19 Build 260303 or US_0.9.1.4.19 Build 260312) is vulnerable.Affected if The installed firmware version is less than 0.9.1_4.19.
-
Verify UPnP service statusIn the router web interface, go to Forwarding > UPnP or Advanced > UPnP settings. Check whether the UPnP function is enabled or turned on.Affected if UPnP is enabled - this is the condition required for the out-of-bounds read flaw to be exploitable.
The router is affected if it is a TL-WR841N v14 model running firmware version below 0.9.1_4.19 AND has UPnP functionality enabled.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped0.9.1_4.19
Update the router firmware to the patched version (EN_0.9.1 4.19 Build 260303 or US_0.9.1.4.19 Build 260312 and above). If no patched firmware is available, disable UPnP functionality in the router settings as a temporary workaround.
TL-WR841N v14 firmware 0.9.1_4.19 (EN_0.9.1 4.19 Build 260303 Rel.42399n or US_0.9.1.4.19 Build 260312 Rel.49108n)
- Navigate to the official TP-Link support website (www.tp-link.com)
- Locate the TL-WR841N v14 product page and go to the Firmware section
- Download the EN_0.9.1 4.19 Build 260303 Rel.42399n (V14_260303) firmware for EU models, or US_0.9.1.4.19 Build 260312 Rel.49108n (V14_0304) for US models
- Access the router's web management interface (typically at 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1)
- Navigate to System Tools > Firmware Upgrade (or similar path)
- Upload the downloaded firmware file and initiate the upgrade
- Wait for the upgrade to complete and the router to reboot automatically
- Verify the firmware version has been updated to 0.9.1_4.19 or later in the router status page
