CVE-2026-104944 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-104944: TP-Link Tapo C500 v2.0 contains an out-of-bounds function-pointer dispatch in its TDP (TP-Link Device Protocol) daemon. A single unauthenticated UDP datagram can cause an invalid indirect call, crashing the main service and resulting in a denial-of-service condition. Successful exploitation may allow an unauthenticated attacker with network access to the affected UDP service to repeatedly crash the TDP daemon, disrupting normal device operation and availability. No authentication, session establishment, or pairing is required to trigger the condition.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-104944

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-104944 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-104944

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-104944.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-104944, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis

CWE-823

CAPEC Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification

  • Pointer Manipulation CAPEC-129 This attack pattern involves an adversary manipulating a pointer within a target application resulting in the application accessing an unintended memory location. This can result in the crashing of the application or, for certain pointer values, access to data that would not normally be possible or the execution of arbitrary code. Since pointers are simply integer variables, Integer Attacks may often be used in Pointer Attacks.
