Credential disclosure in GeoVision GV-IP Device Utility 9.0.5 allows network attackers to intercept administrator passwords via broadcast UDP traffic containing symmetric encryption keys. When administrators issue privileged commands to GeoVision IP devices, the utility broadcasts credentials encrypted with a Blowfish-derived algorithm but includes the decryption key in the same packet, enabling passive network eavesdropping to extract full device credentials. CVSS 9.3 (Critical) with scope change reflects the pivot risk from utility compromise to full device control, including IP reconfiguration and factory resets.
