VAR-202308-3520

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-08-15 23:20

TP-Link Tapo C210 ActiveCells Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of TP-Link Tapo C210 IP cameras. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed.

The specific flaw exists within the handling of the ActiveCells parameter of the CreateRules and ModifyRules APIs. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-20589. TP-LINK Technologies of Tapo C210 An out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in firmware.Information is obtained, information is tampered with, and service operation is interrupted. (DoS) It may be in a state. TP-LINK Tapo C210 is a network camera device from China's TP-LINK company
