Last modified

CVE-2025-1099 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
