CVE-2026-15316

An improper input validation vulnerability in the configuration service for processing encrypted credential data has been identified in Tapo C200 v5. An attacker can send oversized crypted ciphertext values that may trigger exception handling failures, due to insufficient validation, causing the affected device to crash or restart. Successful exploitation may temporarily disrupt HTTPS management and monitoring functionality, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition until the service recovers.

Summary		(es) Una vulnerabilidad de validación de entrada incorrecta en el servicio de configuración para el procesamiento de datos de credenciales cifradas ha sido identificada en Tapo C200 v5. Un atacante puede enviar valores de texto cifrado cifrado excesivamente grandes que pueden desencadenar fallos en el manejo de excepciones, debido a una validación insuficiente, causando que el dispositivo afectado se bloquee o reinicie. La explotación exitosa puede interrumpir temporalmente la funcionalidad de gestión y monitoreo HTTPS, resultando en una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS) hasta que el servicio se recupere.
