Tapo C520WS v2, published on 5 Jun 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-6242 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: TP-Link Systems Inc. Tapo C520WS v2. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. 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.\n2. 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.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6242/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6242/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-6242","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6242/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-6242","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m9ww-xwm5-pf57"],"analysis":{"component_type":"iot_embedded","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IP camera","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated attacker can cause denial of service in the ONVIF Subscribe service of TP-Link Tapo cameras by injecting format strings.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"TPLink","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-134","name":"Use of Externally-Controlled Format String"}],"description":"An authenticated format string vulnerability exists in the ONVIF Subscribe service in Tapo C520WS v2 due to improper handling of externally supplied parameters within formatting functions.
