DescriptionCVE.org

Tapo C200 v5 contains 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.

AnalysisAI

Authentication bypass in TP-Link Tapo C200 v5 IP cameras running firmware below V5_1.4.6 Build 260709 Rel.27675n allows unauthenticated adjacent-network attackers to manipulate challenge parameters during the login handshake, circumventing the authentication verification module and obtaining valid administrative session tokens. With those tokens, an attacker can execute privileged management operations - including reconfiguring the camera, accessing live or recorded footage, and deliberately disrupting device services to cause a denial-of-service condition. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to be on the same local network segment (LAN or Wi-Fi) as the target device - this adjacency requirement is the primary limiting factor and renders internet-based exploitation impossible in default deployments. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7 (AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) reflects a genuinely high-impact flaw with one critical constraint: the adjacent-network attack vector (AV:A) means exploitation requires presence on the same local network segment as the camera. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation The primary fix is to upgrade Tapo C200 v5 firmware to V5_1.4.6 Build 260709 Rel.27675n or later, available directly from the TP-Link support page at https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/tapo-c200/v5/; updates can also be applied via the Tapo mobile application. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, conduct a network inventory to identify all TP-Link Tapo C200 v5 cameras running firmware below V5_1.4.6 Build 260709 Rel.27675n. …
