CVE-2025-56801
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
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.

NOTA: la postura del Proveedor es que el material no está codificado de forma rígida y, en su lugar, se genera aleatoriamente en cada instalación de la aplicación."
