Description
TP-Link Tapo
C325WB V2 generates the pre-shared key used by its local media streaming
service with a time-seeded pseudo-random number generator, making the key
predictable and recoverable. An unauthenticated attacker on the adjacent
network can recover the key and authenticate to the media streaming service
without valid user credentials. 









Successful
exploitation may allow an unauthenticated adjacent-network attacker to access
and take over live video and audio streams, compromising the confidentiality
and integrity of camera media.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability in TP‑Link Tapo C325WB V2 arises from the use of a time‑seeded pseudo‑random number generator to create the media stream pre‑shared key. This flaw is a predictable random number generation weakness, identified as CWE-330. Because the key is predictable and can be derived by an attacker on the local network, the camera’s media streaming service can be authenticated without a valid user credential. This flaw allows anyone on an adjacent network to connect to the live video and audio streams, compromising confidentiality and integrity of the camera’s output.

Affected Systems

Affected devices are TP‑Link Tapo C325WB model v2 cameras. No other versions or variants were specified in the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The issue is rated CVSS 8.7, indicating high risk. The exploit is possible from an unauthorized adjacent‑network attacker without authentication. Even though the EPSS score is not available, the predictable key generation makes the attack straightforward; the lack of a KEV listing does not diminish the operational impact for devices on the same local network.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest firmware update released by TP‑Link that eliminates the predictable key generation.
  • Move the camera to a segregated network segment or configure firewall rules to block unauthenticated access to the media streaming port from other LAN hosts.
  • Disable the media streaming service in the camera’s configuration if not required for operation.
  • Conduct network monitoring for unexpected traffic to the camera’s streaming ports to detect potential exploitation attempts.
