Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability was identified in TP-Link Tapo C520WS v2.6 within a configuration handling component due to insufficient input validation. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by supplying an excessively long value for a vulnerable configuration parameter, resulting in a stack overflow.
Successful exploitation results in Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition, leading to a service crash or device reboot, impacting availability.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in TP-Link Tapo C520WS v2.6 allows remote attackers to trigger denial-of-service by sending oversized configuration parameters to a vulnerable configuration handling component. Successful exploitation causes device crash or reboot, impacting camera availability. Vendor has released a patch.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability exists in a configuration handling component of the Tapo C520WS IP camera firmware (v2.6) and stems from insufficient input validation on configuration parameters processed on the stack (CWE-121: Stack-based Buffer Overflow). When an attacker supplies an excessively long value for a vulnerable parameter, the overflow corrupts the stack, leading to uncontrolled program flow termination or device reboot. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:tp-link_systems_inc.:tapo_c520ws_v2.6:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, indicating the Tapo C520WS v2.6 firmware line from TP-Link Systems Inc.
RemediationAI
Upgrade TP-Link Tapo C520WS v2.6 firmware to the patched version released by TP-Link. Firmware updates are available from the vendor's official support pages at https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/tapo-c520ws/#Firmware-Release-Notes and the corresponding international support page. Detailed patch information and FAQ regarding the vulnerability is available at https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/5047/. Users should download the latest firmware from these official channels and apply the update through the camera's web interface or companion application to restore security.
