An OS command injection vulnerability in the dnsmasq module of TP-Link Archer AX53 v1.0 allows an authenticated adjacent attacker to execute arbitrary code when a specially crafted configuration file is processed due to insufficient input validation. Successful exploitation may allow the attacker to modify device configuration, access sensitive information, or further compromise system integrity.
