Security Evaluation

1. Device Security

Criterion Value Proof Comment
Known hardware tampering Very common [1] 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 3/3; candidates {1,2,3}. Not a demonstrated finding. Physical interfaces and recovery controls are documented.
Known vulnerabilities Very common [2] [3] [4] 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 3/3; candidates {2,3}. Not a demonstrated finding. Historical RM1 issues are documented; patched releases must not be described as still affected.
Prior attacks Very common 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 3/3; candidates {1,2,3}. Not a demonstrated finding. No model-matched evidence of involvement in prior IoT attacks was established. Platform incidents or vulnerability demonstrations do not determine this score.
Updatability Rare [5] [6] 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 2/3; candidates {1,2}. Not a demonstrated finding. Online and local firmware updates are documented, with successive security-related releases. Confirm the model-specific stable build before installation.
Category Score Score: 3 / 3

2. System Security

Criterion Value Proof Comment
Authentication with other systems No [7] 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 3/3; candidates {1,2,3}. Not a demonstrated finding. Cloud access also requires the device password. Binding, overlay-network identity and reset behavior must be assessed on a fixed firmware build.
Communications No encryption [8] 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 3/3; candidates {1,2,3}. Not a demonstrated finding. Local browser access uses HTTPS. This does not establish encryption of every media or cloud channel.
Storage No encryption 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 3/3; candidates {1,2,3}. Not a demonstrated finding. Device-flash encryption remains unverified. Data-folder encryption, encrypted backups or firmware-package flags are insufficient evidence for this field.
Category Score Score: 3 / 3

3. User Authentication

Criterion Value Proof Comment
Account management Basic [9] 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 2/3; candidates {1,2}. Not a demonstrated finding. Local administrator password management is documented; cloud sharing does not establish a complete local multi-user privilege lifecycle.
Authentication Basic [10] [11] [12] [13] 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 2/3; candidates {1,2}. Not a demonstrated finding. Device 2FA is documented for v1.10; recovery and firmware authenticity still require a separate check.
Brute-force protection Absent [14] [15] 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 3/3; candidates {1,2,3}. Not a demonstrated finding. A historical brute-force weakness was patched. Use the fixed-version condition; coverage and installed firmware remain unverified.
Event logging Partial logging [16] 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 2/3; candidates {1,2}. Not a demonstrated finding. Diagnostic logs can be exported; firmware 1.9 adds sensitive-data masking. Complete access-event coverage is not established.
Passwords Require change after setup [17] 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 2/3; candidates {1,2}. Not a demonstrated finding. The v1.10 documentation specifies ten characters and two character classes; applicability to this RM1 must be confirmed.
Category Score Score: 3 / 3

PROVISIONAL CONSERVATIVE SCENARIO — NOT CONFIRMED DEVICE DEFECTS. Unknown items use the upper-bound score by submitter request. The letter grade below is temporary, subject to further evidence and administrator review.


Provisional assessment — not administrator approved

Conservative provisional rating: F; GRAS 9/9.

This is an explicitly assumed upper-bound document-review scenario, not a confirmed dangerousness finding or an administrator-approved classification. On 25 October 2026 the submitter authorized selecting the highest evidence-consistent candidate score for each criterion. A completely unknown item is temporarily scored 3. The selected labels such as Very common, No encryption, No authentication or Absent do NOT establish that those conditions were observed. Unknown is not evidence of absence.

No physical device, installed firmware or actual configuration was inspected. Missing optional hardware parameters remain blank. Administrator-only classification date and calculator-version fields have not been set. The official classification may remain blank until administrator approval.

Scope

采用GL-RM1初代;不混用GL-RM1V2、GL-RM1PE或GL-RM10参数。

Calculation

Using the published methodology: ceil(mean of Device 4 criteria)) + ceil(mean of System 3 criteria)) + ceil(mean of User 5 criteria)).

  • Device CATS: 3
  • System CATS: 3
  • User CATS: 3
  • GRAS: 9; provisional grade: F
  • Evidence-consistent outer range before selecting the conservative scenario: 4–9, candidate grades A / A- / B / C / D / F. This is an uncertainty envelope, not a statistical confidence interval.
