Published Jun 5, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6.8 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A stack‑based
buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Tapo C520WS v2 in the ONVIF CreateUsers service, where
the device fails to properly validate the number of XML user nodes during
request processing. An authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted
ONVIF request containing an excessive number of user entries to trigger memory
corruption.









Successful
exploitation may cause the ONVIF management service to terminate unexpectedly,
resulting in a denial‑of‑service (DoS) condition that disrupts device
configuration and management functions.
