CVE-2026-104944: TP-Link Tapo C500 out-of-bounds function-pointer dispatch in TDP daemon

CVE-2026-104944 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-06

The TP-Link Tapo C500 is an outdoor security camera that allows users to monitor their property remotely via a mobile app. A flaw in the device's TDP (TP-Link Device Protocol) daemon allows an attacker on the network to crash the camera's main service by sending a single malformed network packet, temporarily disabling video streaming and monitoring. No authentication or special setup is required to trigger this denial-of-service condition.

Vendors: TP-Link.
