CVE-2026-12760 | Denial-of-Service Vulnerability via Malformed IPv4 Fragmentation Handling in TP-Link Tapo C200

A denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability has been identified in Tapo C200 v3 in the network packet handling logic due to improper handling of IPv4 fragmented packets.  An unauthenticated adjacent attacker can send crafted packets to cause excessive resource consumption, leading to instability of the device.Successful exploitation can remotely trigger a temporary denial-of-service condition, causing the camera to become unresponsive and resulting in intermittent loss of video monitoring and recording.

6.5 3.1 MEDIUM
CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:A)
Attacker has to be nearby on the network—same office, same link, that vibe—not the whole wide internet.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:N)
Doesn’t really leak secrets in a meaningful way.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
