What to do

AI-suggested

Mitigation should focus primarily on preventing physical access to the device’s UART interface. Organizations should ensure that doorbells are installed in locations that are difficult to access without authorization, such as behind protective covers or within locked enclosures. Physical tamper-evident seals or alarms can help detect unauthorized access attempts. Until a firmware update or hardware revision is released by Reolink, disabling or physically blocking the UART pins internally may be necessary, though this requires technical expertise and may void warranties. Network segmentation should be employed to isolate IoT devices from critical infrastructure networks to limit lateral movement if compromise occurs. Regular physical inspections and monitoring for signs of tampering are recommended. Organizations should engage with Reolink for updates and consider alternative devices with stronger hardware security if risk tolerance is low. Finally, raising user awareness about the importance of physical security for IoT devices is essential.

Description

Reolink Video Doorbell WiFi DB_566128M5MP_W allows root shell access through an unsecured UART/serial console. An attacker with physical access can connect to the exposed interface and execute arbitrary commands with root privileges. NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because of "certain restrictions on users privately connecting serial port cables" and because "the root user has a password and it meets the requirements of password security complexity."
