About this tag
CVE-2026-15315 is a high-severity authentication bypass in TP-Link Tapo home cameras, specifically the Tapo C120 hardware V1 and Tapo C200 hardware V5. An attacker on the same local network can gain administrator access without the owner's password, exposing live video and stored recordings. TP-Link shipped firmware fixes during the summer, with the C200 patch released on August 18, 2026. The flaw is real and not difficult to exploit, but it requires local network access, so installing the correct firmware for your exact hardware revision is the fix. A separate critical flaw in the same camera line remains undisclosed, meaning further updates are expected.
