Vulnerability in Tp Link Tapo C520Ws Firmware (CVE-2026-34119)
Summary
Vulnerability in Tp Link Tapo C520Ws Firmware (CVE-2026-34119). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was identified in TP-Link Tapo C520WS v2.6 within the HTTP parsing
loop
when appending segmented request bodies without
continuous write‑boundary verification, due to insufficient boundary validation when handling externally supplied HTTP input. An attacker
on the same network segment could trigger heap memory corruption conditions by
sending crafted payloads that cause write operations beyond allocated buffer
boundaries. Successful exploitation
causes a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition, causing the device’s process to
crash or become unresponsive.
