Summary

CVE-2019-11001 is a high-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Reolink Rlc-410W Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 7.2 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique NTDS (T1003.003); ranked in the top 1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; CISA has added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

The vulnerability CVE-2019-11001 is an OS command injection issue (CWE-78) present in the TestEmail functionality of Reolink RLC-410W, C1 Pro, C2 Pro, RLC-422W, and RLC-511W devices through firmware version 1.0.227. An authenticated administrator can supply shell metacharacters in the addr1 field to inject and execute arbitrary commands as root on the device.

An attacker with valid administrative credentials can exploit the flaw remotely over the network without user interaction. Successful exploitation grants full root-level control of the IP camera, enabling arbitrary command execution that impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability, consistent with its CVSS 3.1 score of 7.2.

Public proof-of-concept code is available demonstrating the injection, and the vulnerability is listed in the CISA known exploited vulnerabilities catalog. A technical analysis from VDOO describes broader issues in the affected Reolink camera line.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

addresses: CWE-78

Platform-independent apps typically execute inside a managed runtime or sandbox that restricts direct OS command execution, reducing the ability to exploit OS command injection.

addresses: CWE-78

Validates inputs to block special elements that would alter OS command execution.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
blocks

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.

PR.PS-02 partial match
blocks

Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
