CVE-2026-34118Heap-based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability Leading to Denial-of-Service in multiple TP-Link Tapo Cameras
High 7.1
In plain English
A high-severity heap buffer overflow in Tapo C100 v5 from TP Link Systems Inc.. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.5% (higher than 39% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was identified in multiple TP-Link Tapo cameras in the HTTP POST body parsing logic due to missing validation of remaining buffer capacity after dynamic allocation, 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.
