CISA KEV Advisory
Reolink Multiple IP Cameras OS Command Injection Vulnerability
Reolink RLC-410W, C1 Pro, C2 Pro, RLC-422W, and RLC-511W IP cameras contain an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability. This vulnerability allows an authenticated admin to use the "TestEmail" functionality to inject and run OS commands as root.
The impacted product could be end-of-life (EoL) and/or end-of-service (EoS). Users should discontinue product utilization if a current mitigation is unavailable.
Risk Analysis
This CVE describes an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability in several Reolink IP camera models. An authenticated administrator can exploit the 'TestEmail' functionality to inject and execute OS commands as root. The high EPSS score of 0.33815 and its presence in CISA's KEV catalog highlight a significant and confirmed exploitation risk.
This vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild and is listed in CISA's KEV catalog, confirming its active use by threat actors. While it requires authentication, the ability to execute commands as root makes it a severe threat.
Administrators should apply available firmware updates for affected Reolink RLC-410W, C1 Pro, C2 Pro, RLC-422W, and RLC-511W IP cameras. Ensure strong, unique passwords are used for administrative accounts.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2019-11001 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
CISA has added CVE-2019-11001 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
