| Exploitation Conditions | Attacker must possess valid low-privilege credentials for the GeoVision LPC2011/LPC2211 web interface (PR:L). This limits exploitation to scenarios where credentials are compromised through weak/default passwords, credential reuse, phishing, or insider access. Network access to the camera's web interface TCP port (typically 80/443) is required (AV:N), meaning exploitation succeeds against internet-exposed cameras or from within the network perimeter. No special web interface features need to be enabled - the vulnerable functionality is present in default configurations running firmware version 1.10. No user interaction required (UI:N) once access is established. Limiting factors: authentication barrier prevents opportunistic scanning/exploitation; many cameras deployed on isolated surveillance VLANs reduce network reachability; organizations using centralized authentication (LDAP/RADIUS) may have stronger credential controls than local camera accounts. |
| Impact | Real-world risk is high for exposed devices. CVSS 9.9 accurately reflects the severity: network-accessible (AV:N), trivial to exploit once authenticated (AC:L), requires only low-privilege credentials (PR:L), and achieves full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact with scope change. The PR:L requirement is critical - attackers need valid credentials, but many IoT camera deployments use default or weak passwords, and these devices are often internet-exposed for remote access. The scope change suggests privilege escalation from web user to system-level access, potentially compromising the entire device and enabling pivoting to connected networks. However, exploitation probability is constrained by the authentication requirement - this is not a pre-auth RCE. No EPSS score provided, but the combination of network vector, low complexity, and camera deployment patterns (often DMZ/edge network placement) creates significant exposure for organizations using these devices. CISA KEV status not provided in input data. Targeted attacks against physical security infrastructure are realistic threat scenarios. Mitigation complexity is moderate: firmware patching IoT cameras requires planning and potential operational downtime for critical surveillance systems. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker obtains low-privilege credentials to a GeoVision camera's web interface through password guessing, credential stuffing, or social engineering against facility management staff. They craft a malicious HTTP request targeting privileged API endpoints that lack proper authorization checks. The web interface processes the request without validating the user's privilege level, executing administrative operations such as firmware modification, configuration tampering, or system command execution. With scope change capability, the attacker escalates from web application context to underlying operating system control, potentially disabling camera recording, exfiltrating footage, or using the compromised device as a pivot point into the facility network. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – May 04, 2026
Privilege escalation in GeoVision LPC2011/LPC2211 1.10 web interface allows authenticated remote attackers to execute privileged operations via crafted HTTP requests. The vulnerability enables scope change (S:C) indicating potential escape from restricted web interface contexts to underlying system privileges. CVSS 9.9 (Critical) with low attack complexity and no user interaction required, making this exploitable by any authenticated user through simple web requests. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Apply firmware updates per GeoVision's cyber security advisory at https://www.geovision.com.tw/cyber_security.php. Vendor has acknowledged the vulnerability and firmware version fixing this issue should be obtained directly from GeoVision support channels. Until patching is complete, implement network segmentation to restrict camera web interface access to trusted management VLANs only - block internet access and use VPN for remote administration. Change all default credentials to strong unique passwords immediately, as the PR:L attack vector depends on credential acquisition. Deploy intrusion detection to monitor for suspicious HTTP POST requests to administrative endpoints from low-privilege accounts. Consider disabling the web interface entirely if cameras can be managed through GeoVision's centralized management platform instead. Note that restricting network access does not eliminate risk from insider threats or lateral movement scenarios, but significantly reduces attack surface. Review all user accounts on affected cameras and apply principle of least privilege - remove unnecessary accounts and downgrade privileges where possible.

Technical ContextAI · show details
GeoVision LPC2011 and LPC2211 are license plate capture cameras with embedded web management interfaces. The vulnerability stems from CWE-266 (Incorrect Privilege Assignment), indicating the web interface fails to properly enforce privilege boundaries when processing HTTP requests. This class of flaw typically arises from missing authorization checks on privileged API endpoints, insecure direct object references to administrative functions, or improper session privilege validation. The scope change (S:C) in the CVSS vector indicates the vulnerability allows breaking out of the intended security boundary, suggesting authenticated low-privilege web users can invoke administrative or system-level operations they should not access.

DescriptionCVE.org
A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Web Interface functionality of GeoVision LPC2011/LPC2211 1.10. A specially crafted HTTP request can lead to execute priviledged operation. An attacker can visit a webpage to trigger this vulnerability.
Executive ViewAI
GeoVision LPC2011/LPC2211 camera systems running firmware 1.10 contain a critical privilege escalation flaw that allows any authenticated user to execute system-level operations, potentially compromising physical security infrastructure and enabling lateral movement into networked environments. Organizations deploying these devices face immediate risk of unauthorized access to surveillance systems and potential pivot points for broader network compromise.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict authentication access to LPC2011/LPC2211 web interfaces to administrative accounts only and disable all non-essential user accounts; (2) Implement network-level access controls limiting communication to these devices from authorized management subnets; (3) Enable and monitor all available device audit logging for privilege escalation attempts; (4) Isolate affected devices to a dedicated VLAN segregated from critical infrastructure.
