Detailsinfo
A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in TP-Link Tapo C520WS 2.6. Affected is an unknown code of the component HTTP Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a buffer overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-120.

This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
A denial-of-service vulnerability was identified in TP-Link Tapo C520WS v2.6 within the HTTP request path parsing logic. The implementation enforces length restrictions on the raw request path but does not account for path expansion performed during normalization. An attacker on the adjacent network may send a crafted HTTP request to cause buffer overflow and memory corruption, leading to system interruption or device reboot.
