Tp-Link: >> Tapo C200 >> 5.0 Security Vulnerabilities
Tapo C120 v1 and C200 v5
contain an improper authentication vulnerability within the login
authentication verification module. An attacker on the local network can
exploit weaknesses in challenge parameter validation to bypass normal
authentication controls and obtain administrative session tokens.
Successful
exploitation may allow an attacker to subsequently execute privileged
management actions, enable unauthorized administrative access and temporary
disruption of device services, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS)
condition.

An improper input
validation vulnerability in the configuration service for processing encrypted
credential data has been identified in Tapo C200 v5. An attacker can send oversized crypted
ciphertext values that may trigger exception handling failures, due to insufficient
validation, causing the affected device to crash or restart.
Successful
exploitation may temporarily disrupt HTTPS management and monitoring
functionality, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition until the
service recovers.
