A denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability has been identified in Tapo C200 v3 in the network packet handling logic due to improper handling of IPv4 fragmented packets.  An unauthenticated adjacent attacker can send crafted packets to cause excessive resource consumption, leading to instability of the device.Successful exploitation can remotely trigger a temporary denial-of-service condition, causing the camera to become unresponsive and resulting in intermittent loss of video monitoring and recording.

The HTTPS service on Tapo C200 v3, v5, C425 v1.2 and C100 v5  exposes a connectAP interface without proper authentication. An unauthenticated attacker on the same local network segment can exploit this to modify the device’s Wi-Fi configuration, resulting in loss of connectivity and denial-of-service (DoS).

The HTTPS server on Tapo C200 V3 does not properly validate the Content-Length header, which can lead to an integer overflow. An unauthenticated attacker on the same local network segment can send crafted HTTPS requests to trigger excessive memory allocation, causing the device to crash and resulting in denial-of-service (DoS).

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability was identified in the ONVIF SOAP XML Parser in Tapo C200 v3 and C520WS v2.6. When processing XML tags with namespace prefixes, the parser fails to validate the prefix length before copying it to a fixed-size stack buffer. It allowed a crafted SOAP request with an oversized namespace prefix to cause memory corruption in stack.

An unauthenticated attacker on the same local network may exploit this flaw to enable remote code execution with elevated privileges, leading to full compromise of the device.

The AES Key-IV pair used by the TP-Link TAPO C200 camera V3 (EU) on firmware version 1.1.22 Build 220725 is reused across all cameras. An attacker with physical access to a camera is able to extract and decrypt sensitive data containing the Wifi password and the TP-LINK account credential of the victim.
