Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: Stack Overflow in GeoVision GV-VMS V20 WebCam Server login. π₯ **Consequences**: Remote attackers can trigger **Arbitrary Code Execution** via crafted HTTP requests. SYSTEM-level compromise possible.
Q2Root Cause? (CWE/Flaw)
π‘οΈ **CWE**: CWE-787 (Out-of-bounds Write). π **Flaw**: Unrestricted `sscanf` call. Username/password buffers (40 chars) are overwritten by input exceeding this limit without length checks.
Q3Who is affected? (Versions/Components)
π¦ **Vendor**: GeoVision Inc. π¦ **Product**: GV-VMS V20. π¦ **Version**: Specifically **20.0.2**. Affected component: WebCam Server login functionality.
Q4What can hackers do? (Privileges/Data)
π **Privileges**: Executes code with **SYSTEM** privileges. π **Data**: Full control over the server. β οΈ **Impact**: High Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability loss due to remote code execution.
Q5Is exploitation threshold high? (Auth/Config)
π **Auth**: **None required** (Unauthenticated). π **Network**: Remote (AV:N). π **Complexity**: High (AC:H) due to constraints like 'no null bytes', making exploitation tricky but possible.
Q6Is there a public Exp? (PoC/Wild Exploitation)
π« **Public Exp**: **No**. The `pocs` field is empty. π **Status**: No public PoC or wild exploitation observed yet. Relies on theoretical understanding of the stack overflow.
Q7How to self-check? (Features/Scanning)
π **Check**: Scan for GeoVision GV-VMS V20.0.2 WebCam Server. π‘ **Test**: Send malformed HTTP login requests with long strings (>40 chars) to username/password fields. β οΈ **Caution**: Do not test in production.
π§ **Workaround**: If no patch, **disable** the WebCam Server login interface. π« **Block**: Restrict network access to the vulnerable service via firewall rules.β¦
π₯ **Priority**: **HIGH**. π¨ **Reason**: Unauthenticated + Remote Code Execution + SYSTEM Privileges. Even with High AC, the impact is catastrophic. Patch or mitigate ASAP.
