Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in Reolink Smart 2K+ Plug-in Wi-Fi Video Doorbell with Chime - firmware v3.0.0.4662_2503122283 allows unauthorized attackers to access the Admin-only settings and edit the session storage.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in Reolink Smart 2K+ Wi-Fi Video Doorbell firmware v3.0.0.4662_2503122283 allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authorization controls and access Admin-only settings, as well as manipulate session storage directly through predictable object references.

MitigationImplement proper authorization checks on all endpoints and validate session tokens server-side with user role verification; users should restrict network exposure and monitor for firmware updates from Reolink.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify firmware version
    Access the Reolink doorbell web interface or API and retrieve the firmware version information from the device settings or system information page
    Affected if The device is running firmware v3.0.0.4662_2503122283 exactly
  2. Verify admin endpoint accessibility
    Attempt to access Admin-only settings endpoints or API routes without providing valid authentication credentials; observe if the request is allowed or returns admin configuration data
    Affected if Admin settings or sensitive endpoints are accessible without authentication
  3. Check network exposure
    Review network configuration to determine if the device web interface is reachable from untrusted networks or the internet; check port forwards, firewall rules, and NAT configurations
    Affected if The device admin interface is exposed to the internet or untrusted networks without proper access controls
  4. Test session object predictability
    Make repeated requests to session-related endpoints and analyze whether session identifiers or object references follow a predictable pattern that could be manipulated
    Affected if Session IDs or object references are sequential, guessable, or can be manipulated to access other users data

The device is affected if it runs firmware v3.0.0.4662_2503122283 AND has its admin interface accessible from untrusted networks, allowing unauthenticated access to admin settings through predictable object references.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Implement proper authorization checks on all endpoints and validate session tokens server-side with user role verification; users should restrict network exposure and monitor for firmware updates from Reolink.
