Description

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability was identified in the ONVIF SOAP XML Parser in Tapo C200 v3 and C520WS v2.6. When processing XML tags with namespace prefixes, the parser fails to validate the prefix length before copying it to a fixed-size stack buffer. It allowed a crafted SOAP request with an oversized namespace prefix to cause memory corruption in stack. An unauthenticated attacker on the same local network may exploit this flaw to enable remote code execution with elevated privileges, leading to full compromise of the device.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a buffer overflow in the ONVIF XML parser of the Tapo C200 V3 device. An attacker who is unauthenticated but on the same local network can send specially crafted SOAP XML requests that cause memory overflow, leading to the device crashing and resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS).

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability is that an attacker on the same local network can cause the Tapo C200 V3 device to crash by exploiting the buffer overflow, resulting in denial-of-service. This means the device will become unavailable or unresponsive, potentially disrupting surveillance or monitoring functions.
