Summary
TP-Link Omada Software Controller (Windows) from 0 before 6.3.0.45 fails to enforce a required permission check in MSP mode on its user-confirmation endpoint (CWE-862). An authenticated user can supply a caller-controlled identifier to validate credentials for other accounts. The responses distinguish nonexistent users, invalid passwords and successful authentication, which may allow user enumeration, credential verification, and unauthorized access to MSP resources or compromise of targeted accounts.
