MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Persistence, Credential Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires local access to the GV-E-Map Server V18.2.0A host: either read access to the distributed application binary (for static analysis) or the ability to read the application's process memory at runtime. The credential is embedded by default in the shipped component, so no special product configuration is needed to make it present - the limiting factor is purely the need for a prior local foothold or operator-level filesystem/memory access, not any enabled feature or deployment mode. This is NOT remotely exploitable; there is no network-facing trigger, which substantially limits realistic risk relative to the raw score. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.2) hardcoded-credential weakness (CWE-798) whose risk is sharply constrained by the attack vector: the provided CVSS vector is AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, meaning an attacker needs LOCAL access to the GV-E-Map Server host to recover the embedded plaintext database password - either by statically analyzing the distributed binary or by reading process memory at runtime. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or POC was provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The impact profile (C:H, I:N, A:N) is confidentiality-only at the base level, but the recovered credential is a stepping-stone that could enable follow-on database compromise beyond the scored scope. Net: this is a real but lower-priority issue for internet-facing triage because it is not remotely exploitable without prior local foothold - it matters most as a post-compromise privilege/lateral-movement enabler and in multi-user or shared-host deployments. Note a signal conflict worth verifying: the input Tag 'Authentication Bypass' does not match the actual CWE-798 hardcoded-credential nature of the flaw, which is credential exposure rather than a direct auth bypass. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already has local access to the GV-E-Map Server V18.2.0A host (e.g., a low-privileged local user or an operator with filesystem access to the installed binaries) performs static analysis on the distributed application component and extracts the embedded plaintext database password. Alternatively, they dump the running process memory to recover the same credential, then use it to authenticate directly to the backend database and read stored surveillance/configuration data. No public exploit code is required, as recovery relies on standard reverse-engineering and memory-inspection techniques. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 12, 2026
GV-E-Map Server V18.2.0A ships with a plaintext database password hard-coded into a distributed application component, so anyone who can read the shipped binary or inspect the running process memory on the host can recover the credential and use it against the back-end database. The weakness is CWE-798 (hard-coded credentials) with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.2 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), meaning local access with no privileges required but no network-facing trigger; the exposure is therefore sharply limited to attackers who already hold a local foothold or operator-level filesystem/memory access. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not reported as actively exploited in the source data.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; check the GeoVision advisory at https://www.geovision.com.tw/cyber_security.php for an updated GV-E-Map Server build that removes the embedded credential. Because the password is compiled into the shipped component, user-side removal of the string is not a supported fix, so prioritize compensating controls: restrict interactive logon and filesystem read permissions on the GV-E-Map Server host so only trusted administrators can read the installation directory or inspect process memory (trade-off: reduces operational flexibility and may hamper troubleshooting), harden process-memory protections and limit local debugging or memory-dump capability on that host (trade-off: can interfere with legitimate diagnostics), and treat the back-end database account associated with the embedded password as compromised by applying least-privilege grants, network-segmenting the database so the credential is unusable from untrusted segments, and monitoring for authentication with that account. Rotating the database password is only advisable if the vendor confirms the application supports an out-of-band secret, since an unsupported rotation can break the hard-coded component and cause an outage.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-798, Use of Hard-coded Credentials: a database password is stored in cleartext inside a component that is distributed with GV-E-Map Server V18.2.0A rather than being provisioned at install time or stored in a protected secret store. Because the value is static and shipped with the product, it can be extracted through static analysis of the binary and is also present in process memory while the application runs, making it recoverable by a local user who can read either artifact. The supplied CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) classifies this as a local, unauthenticated confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability effect and no user interaction; C:N/I:N/A:N confirms the flaw leaks a secret rather than allowing code execution or data modification. No CPE identifiers were provided in the source data, and the only reference is the GeoVision security advisory page (https://www.geovision.com.tw/cyber_security.php); the single tag supplied is "Authentication Bypass", which is consistent with the recovered database credential enabling direct authentication to the back-end database and bypassing the application's own access layer, but this should not be read as a network-facing authentication bypass.
