**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Tapo C200 version v5 **Description** An improper authentication issue exists within the login authentication verification module. An attacker on the local network can exploit weaknesses in the validation of the challenge parameter to bypass authentication controls and obtain administrative session tokens. This may allow the execution of privileged management actions, unauthorized administrative access, and temporary disruption of device services, leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition, which is a state where a system becomes unavailable to its intended users. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
