CVE-2025-56802

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

The Reolink desktop application uses a hard-coded and predictable AES encryption key to encrypt user configuration files allowing attackers with local access to decrypt sensitive application data stored in %APPDATA%. A different vulnerability than CVE-2025-56801. NOTE: the Supplier's position is that material is not hardcoded and is instead randomly generated on each installation of the application.
