EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence

This high-severity CVE scores 7.1 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.2% (14th 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.

Tapo C120 v1 and C200 v5 do not enforce authentication for do method HTTPS onboarding connect actions after initial setup.  An unauthenticated adjacent attacker can submit unauthorized wireless configuration parameters, causing the camera to attempt connection to a different network.

Successful exploitation disconnects the camera from its intended wireless network, making it unreachable on its management address, resulting in a denial-of-service condition.
