CVE-2025-1099
TP-Link Tapo C500 Hard-Coded RSA Private Key Vulnerability (Key Exposure)
Description
This vulnerability exists in Tapo C500 Wi-Fi camera due to hard-coded RSA private key embedded within the device firmware. An attacker with physical access could exploit this vulnerability to obtain cryptographic private keys which can then be used to perform impersonation, data decryption and man in the middle attacks on the targeted device.
