CVE-2026-78577

5.3 MEDIUM 0.2% exploit odds No fix listed Auth & access Device

What it is

Tapo C120 v1 and C200 V5 contain a vulnerability in the HTTPS onboarding scan function due to missing authentication. After initial setup, an unauthenticated attacker on the same local network can invoke the scan action and retrieve nearby wireless access-point metadata, including SSIDs, BSSIDs, authentication and encryption modes, and signal-strength information. Successful exploitation may disclose information about the wireless environment surrounding the camera, allowing an attacker to learn elements of the local wireless topology.

Exploitability: Can be exploited from the same network segment without logging in. Limited direct impact.
Exploit odds: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days (EPSS).
Fix: No patch or advisory is linked yet. Look at mitigations or restrict exposure.
