Overview

CVE-2026-34119 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on April 2, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was identified in TP-Link Tapo C520WS v2.6 within the HTTP parsing

loop

when appending segmented request bodies without

continuous write‑boundary verification, due to insufficient boundary validation when handling externally supplied HTTP input.  An attacker

on the same network segment could trigger heap memory corruption conditions by

sending crafted payloads that cause write operations beyond allocated buffer

boundaries.  Successful exploitation

causes a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition, causing the device’s process to

crash or become unresponsive.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
