Setup-data interception via unencrypted Bluetooth initialization
Published May 28, 2026 · Updated May 28, 2026
Cleartext Bluetooth transmission in TP-Link Tapo L535E, P300, and D100C firmware allows physically proximate attackers to intercept setup data. During initialization, each device sends Bluetooth setup traffic without encryption, exposing the data to passive capture or in-path modification. Bluetooth must be active during initial setup and the attacker must be within radio range; successful interception permits data disclosure, setup-data manipulation, and device control during that phase.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
