CVE-2026-34119

Heap-based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability Leading to Denial-of-Service in TP-Link Tapo C520WS

Published Apr 2, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 7.1 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
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.
