CVE-2026-105815: TP-Link Tapo C210 credential exposure in DS JSON API

CVE-2026-105815 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-19

TP-Link Tapo C210 is a network-connected security camera that streams video to users over the internet and local networks. An attacker on the same local network can exploit an unauthenticated API endpoint to extract shared credentials and cryptographic keys, then use these to access the camera's encrypted video stream without knowing the user's account password. This allows unauthorized surveillance and potential access to sensitive video recordings.

Vendors: TP-Link.

Technical details

The camera's DS JSON API exposes shared credential material and cryptographic metadata through unauthenticated requests. These credentials are accepted by the Stream Digest authentication mechanism as valid administrative passwords, enabling an attacker on the adjacent network to establish encrypted media sessions without knowledge of the actual account password. No user interaction or prior authentication is required.
