A fix is referenced (a reference tagged "Patch", often a source commit), but no release containing it is confirmed — find the release that contains it; until it is applied, mitigate (WAF / firewall / segmentation).

An authenticated format string vulnerability exists in the ONVIF Subscribe service in Tapo C520WS v2 due to improper handling of externally supplied parameters within formatting functions. An attacker may inject crafted format strings into event subscription requests or notification generation path to disrupt normal service execution.

Successful exploitation may cause the event notification service to terminate unexpectedly, resulting in the loss of real-time alarm functionality and disruption of event notifications.

EG Risk 31/100

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score. It fuses impact severity (EG Severity, the CVSS base score, never the KEV-floored or EPSS-lifted EG Score) with real-world exploitation and automatability, under weights EchelonGraph set by hand, so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner.

Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed it from the CNA feed. An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures). Most recent first.

A repeat, a row identical to one the same pipeline wrote less than 10 seconds earlier, is not a separate refresh and is not counted. 1 repeat row among the latest 100 is merged into the row it repeats. The 147 oldest rows on record are not shown and were not checked, so the counts can still include repeats.

Frequently asked(5)

What is CVE-2026-6242?
CVE-2026-6242 is a medium-severity vulnerability; its CVE record was published on June 5, 2026. An authenticated format string vulnerability exists in the ONVIF Subscribe service in Tapo C520WS v2 due to improper handling of externally supplied parameters within formatting functions. An attacker may inject crafted format strings into event subscription requests or notification generation path…
When was the CVE record for CVE-2026-6242 published?
The CVE record for CVE-2026-6242 was published on June 5, 2026. That is the record's publication date; the vulnerability itself may have been made public earlier. EchelonGraph's copy of the record carries a last-modified date of July 23, 2026; the record at its source may have been updated since.
Is CVE-2026-6242 actively exploited?
CVE-2026-6242 is not currently on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. FIRST EPSS estimates a 0.2% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days (6th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs).
What is the CVSS score of CVE-2026-6242?
CVE-2026-6242 has a CVSS base score of 6.8 (a secondary CVSS source that NVD displays; NVD's own analysis pending).
How do I remediate CVE-2026-6242?
A fix for CVE-2026-6242 is referenced (a reference tagged "Patch", often a source commit), but EchelonGraph has no release containing it on record. Check that reference and the vendor's advisory for a release that contains the fix and update to it; until then, restrict network exposure of the affected system or apply the vendor's mitigation. The vendor advisories EchelonGraph has for CVE-2026-6242 are linked in the Vendor Advisories panel on this page.
