CVE-2026-57473
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 · uneditedA vulnerability exists in the netclient and factory services of Reolink Home Hub (versions prior to v3.3.0.456_26031911) due to the possibility of brute-force cracking the credentials. This issue could allow attackers on the same local network to intercept traffic between the Hub and associated cameras and compromise the credentials of connected cameras.
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 · high confidenceThe netclient and factory services in Reolink Home Hub versions prior to v3.3.0.456_26031911 contain a vulnerability allowing brute-force credential cracking. Attackers on the same local network can intercept unencrypted or poorly protected traffic between the Hub and associated cameras, enabling compromise of camera credentials.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Reolink Home Hub device on your networkLog into your router or use a network scanner to locate a device with hostname or model identifier matching 'Reolink Home Hub' or 'RHH', or physically inspect your device for the Reolink Home Hub labelAffected if No Reolink Home Hub device is found on the network - you are not affected
-
Check installed firmware versionAccess the Reolink Home Hub web interface or mobile app, navigate to Settings > Device Info > Firmware Version, and record the displayed version numberAffected if The firmware version is prior to v3.3.0.456_26031911 (for example, v3.2.x.x or any version below v3.3.0.456_26031911) - you are likely affected
-
Verify device is accessible on local networkConfirm the Reolink Home Hub has an IP address on your local network and is responding to ping or web requests from other devices on the same subnetAffected if The device is actively connected to a local network with other devices - the vulnerability requires local network access to intercept traffic
-
Confirm camera connections existIn the Reolink Home Hub interface, check the camera list or paired devices section to see if any IP cameras are registered and communicating with the HubAffected if One or more cameras are paired with the Hub - the flaw allows attackers to crack credentials used for these camera connections
You are affected if you have a Reolink Home Hub running firmware version earlier than v3.3.0.456_26031911 and have cameras connected on the same local network, as attackers on that network could intercept and crack camera credentials.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade Reolink Home Hub firmware to v3.3.0.456_26031911 or later. After updating, rotate credentials for all connected cameras to ensure compromised credentials are no longer valid.
v3.3.0.456_26031911
- Access the Reolink Home Hub management interface through a web browser
- Navigate to the firmware settings or system update section
- Check the current firmware version to confirm it is prior to v3.3.0.456_26031911
- Download the firmware update v3.3.0.456_26031911 or later from the official Reolink support website
- Upload and apply the firmware update following the on-screen instructions
- Wait for the device to reboot and complete the update process
- Verify the firmware version has been updated to v3.3.0.456_26031911 or higher
