## What is CVE-2026-102369?

CVE-2026-102369 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in TP-Link Systems Inc. Tapo C120 v1, published on 1 Oct 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Tapo C120 v1 and C200 V5
do not adequately protect login challenge data or sanitize
attacker-controlled input processed by the MacTool handler. An unauthenticated
attacker on the same local network can replay login challenge data to obtain an
administrative session, enable a privileged service that becomes accessible
after a reboot, and submit crafted input to execute arbitrary commands within
the device management process.

Successful
exploitation may allow arbitrary command execution on the camera and compromise
the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected device.
Exploitation requires access from the same local network, replay of the login
challenge data, activation of the privileged service, and a device reboot.

Weakness: CWE-287 (Improper Authentication)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-102369 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-102369 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in TP-Link Systems Inc. Tapo C120 v1, published on 1 Oct 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-102369 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: TP-Link Systems Inc. Tapo C120 v1. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
