Tapo C260 Firmware

On TP-Link Tapo C260 v1 and D235 v1, a guest‑level authenticated user can bypass intended access restrictions by sending crafted requests to a synchronization endpoint. This allows modification of protected device settings despite limited privileges. An attacker may change sensitive configuration parameters without authorization, resulting in unauthorized device state manipulation but not full code execution.

On TP-Link Tapo C260 v1, command injection vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization in certain POST parameters during configuration synchronization. An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary system commands with high impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability. It may cause full device compromise.

A path traversal vulnerability was identified TP-Link Tapo C260 v1, D235 v1 and C520WS v2.6 within the HTTP server’s handling of GET requests. The server performs path normalization before fully decoding URL encoded input and falls back to using the raw path when normalization fails. An attacker can exploit this logic flaw by supplying crafted, URL encoded traversal sequences that bypass directory restrictions and allow access to files outside the intended web root. Successful exploitation may allow authenticated attackers to get disclosure of sensitive system files and credentials, while unauthenticated attackers may gain access to non-sensitive static assets.
