CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedTapo C120 v1 and C200 v5 devices are vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference in their HTTPS onboarding connect request parser, which can be exploited without authentication after initial setup. This vulnerability allows attackers on the same local network to crash the HTTPS service, leading to a denial-of-service condition that may require a device reboot for recovery. Organizations using these devices should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of service disruption.

Original NVD Description
Tapo C120 v1 and C200 v5 contain a NULL pointer dereference in the HTTPS onboarding connect request parser. The interface is reachable without authentication after initial setup and does not validate that a password field is present for certain authentication and encryption parameter combinations, allowing a malformed request from the same local network to crash the HTTPS service Successful exploitation may temporarily make HTTPS management functions unavailable. Repeated malformed requests may sustain the denial-of-service condition, and recovery may in some cases require a device reboot.
