CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The Reolink Desktop Application 8.18.12 contains hardcoded credentials as the Initialization Vector (IV) in its AES-CFB encryption implementation allowing attackers with access to the application environment to reliably decrypt encrypted configuration data. NOTE: the Supplier's position is that material is not hardcoded and is instead randomly generated on each installation of the application.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-56801 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
