MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Discovery, Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires only that the GeoVision GV-LPC2011/GV-LPC2211 web/CGI interface (specifically the get_fcont.cgi endpoint) be network-reachable from the attacker; the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms no authentication, no special privileges, and no user interaction are needed against default configurations. The concrete prerequisite is reachability of the HTTP service exposing get_fcont.cgi on firmware V1.12 or earlier. The primary limiting factors are deployment-driven rather than technical: devices placed behind a firewall, VPN, or management VLAN are not exposable, and the impact is bounded to files readable by the CGI process UID (information disclosure only - no write, no code execution). Firmware newer than V1.12 removes the flaw. |
| Impact | All signals point in a consistent direction. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation requiring no user interaction, and the C:H/I:N/A:N impact correctly scopes this to confidentiality only - there is no code execution or denial of service. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or SSVC decision data was supplied, so exploitation probability and automatability cannot be quantified from the input; this is missing rather than low. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, so the realistic near-term risk is moderate rather than emergency-grade. The mitigating real-world factor is footprint: this is niche LPR camera hardware, not ubiquitous infrastructure, so mass internet-wide exploitation is less likely than targeted attacks against exposed devices. The headline 7.5 is justified for any device whose management interface is internet-reachable. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker scans for internet-exposed GeoVision LPR appliances and sends a crafted HTTP request to get_fcont.cgi with a traversal payload (e.g., a file-path parameter containing ../../ sequences) pointing at a sensitive file such as a password or configuration file. The CGI reads and returns the file contents without any authentication, handing the attacker credentials or configuration data that can enable deeper compromise. No public POC is currently identified, but the low attack complexity means a working request is trivial to craft. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 26, 2026
Arbitrary file read in GeoVision GV-LPC2011 and GV-LPC2211 license plate recognition appliances (firmware V1.12 and earlier) lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker traverse the filesystem via the get_fcont.cgi endpoint and retrieve any file readable by the CGI process. Because the CGI fails to validate the user-supplied file path, a single crafted HTTP request can disclose configuration files, credentials, or other sensitive data. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the network-reachable, no-authentication nature (CVSS 7.5) makes it straightforward to weaponize.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the device firmware to the first release after V1.12 as published by GeoVision; consult the vendor advisory at https://www.geovision.com.tw/cyber_security.php for the exact patched version, since no precise fix version is confirmed in the available data (No vendor-released patch version independently confirmed at time of analysis). Until patched firmware is applied, remove the device management/CGI interface from the public internet and place it behind a VPN or management VLAN, restrict access to the get_fcont.cgi endpoint and the web interface to trusted source IPs via firewall/ACL, and front the device with a reverse proxy or WAF rule that rejects path-traversal sequences (../, encoded variants) in request parameters - noting that WAF filtering is a stopgap that determined attackers can sometimes encode around. The main trade-off of network isolation is loss of remote/cloud management convenience, which is acceptable given the unauthenticated file-disclosure exposure.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected components are GeoVision's GV-LPC2011 and GV-LPC2211 - embedded license plate recognition (LPR/ANPR) camera appliances that expose a web/CGI management interface. The flaw lives in get_fcont.cgi, a CGI handler whose purpose is to return file contents; it accepts a file path parameter and passes it to a file-access call without canonicalizing or sanitizing it. This is a textbook CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory, 'Path Traversal') issue: by injecting sequences such as ../ the attacker escapes the intended content directory and reaches arbitrary files within the embedded Linux filesystem that the CGI's process UID can read. The single CPE provided, cpe:2.3:a:geovision_inc.:gv-lpclpc2011/2211:*, covers the LPC2011/2211 product line at the application layer.

DescriptionCVE.org
An unauthenticated directory traversal vulnerability exists in get_fcont.cgi in GeoVision GV-LPC2011 and GV-LPC2211 V1.12 and earlier. The vulnerability is caused by insufficient validation of user-supplied file path input before the requested file is accessed by the CGI component. A remote attacker may exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to read arbitrary files accessible to the affected process, resulting in information disclosure.
Executive ViewAI
GeoVision license plate recognition appliances (GV-LPC2011, GV-LPC2211) with firmware V1.12 and earlier contain an unauthenticated remote file read vulnerability allowing attackers to retrieve credentials, configuration files, and other sensitive system data through path traversal. Organizations using these devices face immediate credential exposure and potential lateral movement into corporate networks. Vendor patches are not yet available, requiring urgent interim network controls.
Network isolation via firewall rules and segmentation to untrusted traffic; disable or restrict the get_fcont.cgi endpoint through application-level controls if available; implement monitoring for suspicious file path traversal requests to these appliances; rotate all credentials stored on or managed by affected devices; segregate appliances from critical systems and untrusted network segments.

Attack Technique
Path traversal exploits occur when applications use user-controlled input to construct file system paths without proper validation.
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
