This Article Applies to: 

We at TP-Link are aware of the security flaw in the 3G Mobile Wi-Fi Routers M5350, M5360 and M5250. After diagnosing the issue, we have identified a cross-site scripting (XSS) bug in the existing firmware. After sending a specific script command to the device via text message, the bug is triggered, replying with the device's administrator credentials in order to obtain access and control.

TP-Link has updated and released an update to the affected firmware to eliminate this vulnerability, and customers may download it directly from the product support page at the official TP-Link website (link here).

For the models that are affected by this XXS bug, we have provided updated, secure firmware that can be downloaded and installed to your device:

ž   3G Mobile Wi-Fi Router M5350 (Universal version) (South America version)

ž   3G Mobile Wi-Fi Router & Power Bank M5360 (Universal version)

ž   3G Mobile Wi-Fi Router M5250 (Universal version)

TP-Link strongly advises owners of these models to download these new firmware versions as soon as possible to avoid any security breach.

TP-Link is committed to serving customers while maintaining their security and apologizes for this security flaw. We will continue to prioritize the user moving forward.
