Description Preview
A security vulnerability has been identified in the 'factory' binary of Reolink RLC-410W camera running firmware version 3.0.0.136_20121102. This vulnerability allows an attacker to perform unauthorized firmware updates by sending specially-crafted network requests to the device. By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker could potentially install malicious firmware, leading to complete device compromise, unauthorized access to video feeds, or use the device as an entry point to the broader network.
Overview
The vulnerability exists in the firmware update mechanism of the Reolink RLC-410W security camera (version 3.0.0.136_20121102). The 'factory' binary, which is responsible for handling firmware updates, does not properly validate update requests. This allows an attacker to bypass authentication controls and initiate unauthorized firmware updates by sending a specific sequence of network requests to the device. Successful exploitation could result in device compromise, allowing attackers to gain persistent access, modify device functionality, intercept video feeds, or pivot to other network devices.
Remediation
- Update to the latest firmware version provided by Reolink that addresses this vulnerability.
- If updates are not available, implement network segmentation to isolate security cameras from the internet and restrict access to trusted devices only.
- Use strong, unique passwords for all camera accounts.
- Implement a firewall to filter traffic to and from the cameras, allowing only necessary connections.
- Regularly monitor camera access logs for suspicious activities.
- Consider placing cameras behind a VPN if remote access is required.
