Buffer Overflow in TP-Link Tapo C100 Home Security Camera:: Note: This blogpost was written in November 2023, but I was waiting for the TP Link Security Team to release a fix so now it’s published(Jan 2024).

Hello world! and happy new year. It’s been a long time since I last posted here. I decided to take a new challenge, to do something I wanted to do since I was 15 years old(!) enthusiastic kid watching this Black Hat talk: hacking a Security Camera. 10 years later, I think it’s my turn now hehe

In this blogpost, I’ll share my journey of targeting the TP-Link Tapo C100 Home Security Camera. From extracting the firmware to spotting an n-day and writing a full RCE exploit.

Extracting the firmware

To get an initial foothold on the device, I soldered some cables to the UART pins of the device in hopes that I will get a bash shell.

My plan was to try a known technique used in other models of this camera: inserting an SD Card to the camera → copy /dev/mtdblock* files to the card → plug it to my laptop → run binwalk on it.

However, for some reason the camera did not manage to detect the SD Card ;_; so what I did was:

Dumping the whole contents of the /dev/mtdblock* files with xxd(or, hexdump) Save all the UART output to a txt file Decode it back from hexdump to raw bytes

Yes, I dumped the whole firmware via UART, and it was so slow :‘) But desperate times call for desperate measures.

Intro to the “dsd” binary

The dsd binary, located at /usr/bin/dsd is one of the main components of the REST API the camera is exposing to the client. Basically, the uhttpd binary is using a local unix socket to send the user input to the dsd binary, perform the necessary action(change the camera settings, etc.) and return a response.

Spotting the bug

The bug exists in the check_user_info request handler.

BPF Memory Forensics with Volatility 3::BPF Memory Forensics with Volatility 3 Introduction and Motivation Have you ever wondered how an eBPF rootkit looks like? Well, here’s one, have a good look: Upon receiving a command and control (C2) request, this specimen can execute arbitrary commands on the infected machine, exfiltrate sensitive files, perform passive and active network discovery scans (like nmap), or provide a privilege escalation backdoor to a local shell. Of course, it’s also trying its best to hide itself from system administrators hunting it with different command line tools such as ps, lsof, tcpdump an others or even try tools like rkhunter or chkrootkit.

Ghidriff: Ghidra Binary Diffing Engine::As seen in most security blog posts today, binary diffing tools are essential for reverse engineering, vulnerability research, and malware analysis. Patch diffing is a technique widely used to identify changes across versions of binaries as related to security patches. By diffing two binaries, a security researcher can dig deeper into the latest CVEs and patched vulnerabilities to understand their root cause. This post presents Ghidriff, a new open-source Python package that offers a command-line binary diffing capability leveraging the power of the Ghidra Software Reverse Engineering (SRE) Framework with a fresh take on the standard patch diffing workflow.
