CVE-2026-9032: TP-Link Tapo C120 v1 and C200 v5 NULL pointer dereference

CVE-2026-9032 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-01

TP-Link Tapo C120 and C200 cameras contain a flaw in their HTTPS setup interface that can be exploited by an attacker on the same local network. By sending a specially crafted request lacking required authentication parameters, an attacker can crash the HTTPS service, making camera management functions temporarily unavailable. Repeated attacks can sustain the outage and may require a device reboot to recover.

Technical details

A NULL pointer dereference exists in the HTTPS onboarding connect request parser. The interface is reachable without authentication after initial setup and fails to validate the presence of a password field for certain authentication and encryption parameter combinations, allowing malformed requests from the local network to trigger the crash. An attacker can achieve denial of service against the HTTPS management service.
