CVE-2026-78578
An unauthenticated adjacent attacker can submit unauthorized wireless configuration parameters, causing the camera to attempt connection to a different network.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.27%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Tapo C120 v1 and C200 v5 do not enforce authentication for do method HTTPS onboarding connect actions after initial setup. An unauthenticated adjacent attacker can submit unauthorized wireless configuration parameters, causing the camera to attempt connection to a different network. Successful exploitation disconnects the camera from its intended wireless network, making it unreachable on its management address, resulting in a denial-of-service condition.
