CVE-2026-0652: Tp-Link Tapo C260 Firmware OS Command Injection (CVSS 8.7)

A pre-authentication OS command injection vulnerability has been identified in Omada gateways configured to operate as an OpenVPN Server due to insufficient validation of client-supplied data during OpenVPN connection establishment. An unauthenticated remote attacker may provide specially crafted input influencing backend command execution logic before authentication completes. Exploitation requires the OpenVPN Server feature to be enabled, VPN service reachable by the attacker and attacker to be able to initiate an OpenVPN connection attempt.  Successful exploitation may allow arbitrary command execution, potentially leading to full compromise of the affected device.

An unauthenticated denial-of-service vulnerability was identified in TP-Link TL-MR100 v3.2, TL-MR150 v3.2, TL-MR6400 v8.0 and Archer MR600 v2, due to improper handling of exceptional request conditions that may lead to a NULL pointer dereference.  A remote attacker on an adjacent network can send a specially crated HTTP request to trigger a crash of the HTTP service process. Successful exploitation may cause the HTTP service to crash, making the web management interface and HTTP-dependent functionality temporarily unavailable.

Tapo C120 v1 and C200 v5 contain an improper authentication vulnerability within the login authentication verification module. An attacker on the local network can exploit weaknesses in challenge parameter validation to bypass normal authentication controls and obtain administrative session tokens. Successful exploitation may allow an attacker to subsequently execute privileged management actions, enable unauthorized administrative access and temporary disruption of device services, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.

Tapo P110 v1 smart Wi-Fi Plug contains an improper boundary validation vulnerability in the handling of authenticated HTTP request bodies due to insufficient input validation before memory copy operations. This may lead to buffer overflow condition, causing the web service process to crash. Successful exploitation may cause the web service process to stop responding or restart, resulting in a denial-of-service condition.

Affected Omada devices rely on embedded certificates that are shared across deployments to establish trust between controllers and managed devices. An attacker who obtains the embedded certificates may be able to impersonate trusted controllers or devices and intercept affected communications.

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the VPN module of TP-Link AXE75 V1 routers. This vulnerability allows an adjacent, authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the device by importing a specially crafted VPN client configuration file. The issue arises from improper filtering of special characters.  Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may enable an attacker to gain full control of the affected device, potentially compromising configuration integrity, network security, and service availability.
