CVE-2026-13230 — Information Disclosure Vulnerability in Local Discovery Response in TP-Link Kasa EC70 and EC71

An information disclosure vulnerability was identified in TP-Link Kasa EC70 v4 and EC71 v4 in the local discovery mechanism, which exposes sensitive geolocation information without requiring authentication. This issue allows an attacker on the same local network to retrieve geolocation-related data through crafted responses. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality only, with no evidence of integrity of availability impact.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • Technical severity (medium)+3

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (TP-Link Systems Inc. Kasa Ec70 Firmware, TP-Link Systems Inc. Kasa EC70 v4, TP-Link Systems Inc. Kasa Ec71 Firmware…).
  2. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (info disclosure), errors and authentication anomalies.

Affected scope

Vendor, product and versions as the sources word them.
