EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence

This high-severity CVE scores 7.1 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.3% (20th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

No fix is confirmed yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for the fix.

TP-Link Tapo C500 v2.0 contains an out-of-bounds function-pointer dispatch in its TDP (TP-Link Device Protocol) daemon. A single unauthenticated UDP datagram can cause an invalid indirect call, crashing the main service and resulting in a denial-of-service condition.

Successful exploitation may allow an unauthenticated attacker with network access to the affected UDP service to repeatedly crash the TDP daemon, disrupting normal device operation and availability. No authentication, session establishment, or pairing is required to trigger the condition.
