CVE-2026-75618

Device reboot via RTSP null dereference

Published Aug 19, 2026 · Updated Aug 19, 2026

Null pointer dereference in RTSP in Tapo C100/C101 before 1.5.4 Build 260528 Rel.11462n allows attackers to reboot the camera via crafted local-network requests. TP-Link states that malformed RTSP requests make the RTSP service dereference an invalid pointer, but no public advisory or CVE record names the affected handler, field, or code path. Exposure is limited to attackers on the same local network, and the published impact is a service crash followed by device reboot that interrupts live video streaming until the device recovers.
