Technical details

A denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the RTSP server component of the TP-Link Tapo C520WS v2 security camera. The issue stems from improper input validation (CWE-20) when handling syntactically invalid RTSP requests. An attacker located on the adjacent network (local network) can send specially crafted inputs to trigger a processing error, causing the RTSP service to enter a non-responsive state. This effectively disables video streaming functionality until the service or device is restarted. The vulnerability is addressed in firmware version 1.2.6 Build 260528 Rel.60422n or later.
