device compromise.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Directly addresses improper sanitization of POST parameters by requiring validation of untrusted inputs to prevent command injection.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Mitigates the specific vulnerability through timely flaw remediation, including application of TP-Link firmware patches.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match
prevent

Reduces impact of successful command injection by enforcing least privilege on processes handling configuration synchronization.

Security SummaryAI

CVE-2026-0652 is a command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) affecting the TP-Link Tapo C260 v1 camera. The issue arises from improper sanitization of certain POST parameters during configuration synchronization, allowing arbitrary system command execution. Published on 2026-02-10, it has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity with significant impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

An authenticated attacker with low privileges (PR:L) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network (AV:N) with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation enables execution of arbitrary system commands, potentially resulting in full device compromise.

TP-Link provides mitigation resources through its support pages, including firmware downloads for Tapo C260 v1 at https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/tapo-c260/v1/ and https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/tapo-c260/v1/, as well as FAQ 4960 at https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/4960/.
