Title
Unauthenticated Onboarding Scan Information Disclosure in TP-Link Tapo C120 & C200
Summary
Tapo C120 v1 and C200 V5 contain a vulnerability in the HTTPS onboarding scan function due to missing authentication. After initial setup, an unauthenticated attacker on the same local network can invoke the scan action and retrieve nearby wireless access-point metadata, including SSIDs, BSSIDs, authentication and encryption modes, and signal-strength information. Successful exploitation may disclose information about the wireless environment surrounding the camera, allowing an attacker to learn elements of the local wireless topology.

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
