Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

1. Immediate mitigation should include isolating the affected Reolink devices on a separate VLAN or network segment with strict firewall rules to limit their communication to only necessary services and prevent lateral movement. 2. Monitor network traffic for unusual activity originating from the doorbell devices, including unexpected outbound connections or command execution patterns. 3. Regularly check for firmware updates from Reolink and apply patches promptly once available. 4. Disable any unnecessary remote management features or services on the device to reduce the attack surface. 5. Employ network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) with signatures or anomaly detection tailored to IoT device behavior. 6. For organizations deploying these devices, implement strong authentication and access controls on device management interfaces. 7. Conduct periodic security assessments of IoT devices within the network to identify and remediate vulnerabilities proactively. 8. If possible, replace vulnerable devices with models that have a stronger security track record or vendor support.

Description

Reolink Smart 2K+ Plug-in Wi-Fi Video Doorbell with Chime - firmware v3.0.0.4662_2503122283 was discovered to contain a command injection vulnerability via the setddns_pip_system() function.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability depends on the deployment context of the Reolink Smart 2K+ Wi-Fi Video Doorbell. While primarily a consumer device, these doorbells are also used in small offices, retail locations, and other organizational premises for physical security and access monitoring. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized command execution on the device, resulting in compromised device integrity and confidentiality breaches such as unauthorized video access or disabling of security features. Furthermore, the device could be used as a foothold to launch lateral attacks within the internal network, potentially exposing sensitive organizational data or disrupting operations. Given the increasing adoption of IoT devices in European businesses, this vulnerability poses a risk to network security posture, especially if network segmentation and device management policies are weak. Privacy regulations such as GDPR also heighten the consequences of unauthorized video or personal data exposure. Although no known exploits are reported, the ease of command injection exploitation typically makes this a high-risk vulnerability if left unpatched. Organizations relying on these devices for security monitoring should consider the risk of operational disruption and data leakage.

Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #23OWASP Top 10 A05:2025: Injection (opens in a new tab)
The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component.
Architecture and Design
If at all possible, use library calls rather than external processes to recreate the desired functionality.
Implementation
If possible, ensure that all external commands called from the program are statically created.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
