CVE-2021-44357Network attack vector

Camera reboot via malformed JSON parameters

Published Apr 14, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025

Improper input validation in Reolink RLC-410W firmware v3.0.0.136_20121102 allows remote attackers to reboot the camera via HTTP. The cgiserver.cgi JSON command parser accepts malformed parameter types and can terminate its process, causing a consequential device reboot without the required permission. An attacker needs only network access to the HTTP API; the demonstrated consequence is service interruption through camera reboot, with no reported data disclosure or modification.
