| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires only network reachability to the device's web service and the ability to send an HTTP POST to the IEEE8021x_upload.cgi endpoint; the specific trigger is a malformed multipart/form-data request with missing or invalid headers in the certificate-related upload fields. Per CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration are needed against affected firmware (V1.12 and earlier). The main limiting factors are deployment-based rather than technical: the attacker must be able to reach the camera's management interface, so devices behind firewalls, on isolated VLANs, or not exposed to untrusted networks are substantially harder to reach, and the impact is limited to a denial of service (availability only). |
| Impact | Signals are largely consistent and point to a genuine but bounded DoS risk. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H = 7.5 High) indicates trivial remote, unauthenticated, no-interaction exploitation, but impact is confined to availability - no confidentiality or integrity loss and no code execution from this NULL dereference. No EPSS score, no SSVC decision, no KEV listing, and no POC were provided, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified from the input; the absence of these does not rule out exploitation but suggests no observed mass exploitation. The practical priority is moderate: exploitation is easy and the affected devices are network-facing, but the consequence is a crash/reboot rather than compromise. Real-world severity hinges on exposure - internet-reachable cameras warrant prompt action, while segmented internal deployments face lower risk. Note one gap to verify with the vendor: it is unclear whether a crash of this single CGI degrades only certificate uploads or destabilizes the broader device. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with network reachability to an exposed GV-LPC2011/2211 camera sends a crafted malformed multipart/form-data POST to IEEE8021x_upload.cgi omitting or corrupting an expected certificate-field header, causing a NULL pointer dereference that crashes the CGI process. Repeating the request keeps the certificate-upload/management function unavailable. No authentication, user interaction, or complex setup is required (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), though no public POC is currently identified. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 26, 2026
Denial of service in GeoVision GV-LPC2011 and GV-LPC2211 license plate cameras (firmware V1.12 and earlier) lets remote unauthenticated attackers crash the IEEE8021x_upload.cgi process by sending a malformed multipart upload request, triggering a NULL pointer dereference (CWE-476). The high availability impact (CVSS 7.5, A:H) means the device's 802.1x certificate-upload functionality - and potentially the management interface - becomes unavailable until the process or device restarts. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Consult GeoVision's security advisory at https://www.geovision.com.tw/cyber_security.php and upgrade affected GV-LPC2011/GV-LPC2211 devices to a firmware release newer than V1.12 once published; the input data does not specify an exact fixed firmware version, so treat the patched build as 'patch available per vendor advisory' and confirm the version directly with GeoVision before deploying. Because exploitation targets a network-reachable CGI, the most effective compensating control until patching is network exposure reduction: do not expose these cameras directly to the internet, place them on an isolated/management VLAN, and restrict access to the web/management interface (and the IEEE8021x_upload.cgi endpoint) to trusted admin hosts via firewall ACLs - the trade-off is that legitimate remote certificate management must then originate from those allowlisted hosts. Where 802.1x certificate upload is not actively used, restricting or proxying access to that endpoint limits the attack surface with minimal operational impact.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected components are GeoVision GV-LPC2011 and GV-LPC2211, which are GeoVision's License Plate Capture (LPC/LPR) network cameras used in ANPR and access-control deployments (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:geovision_inc.:gv-lpclpc2011/2211). The flaw lives in IEEE8021x_upload.cgi, a CGI endpoint that handles uploads of certificates used for IEEE 802.1x port-based network access authentication. The root cause is CWE-476 (NULL Pointer Dereference): when parsing multipart/form-data upload headers for certificate-related fields, the CGI fails to validate that expected header fields/values are present, so a missing or malformed field yields a NULL pointer that is later dereferenced, crashing the process. This is a memory-safety/input-validation defect in the multipart parsing logic rather than a logic or auth flaw.

DescriptionCVE.org
An unauthenticated NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in IEEE8021x_upload.cgi in GeoVision GV-LPC2011 and GV-LPC2211 V1.12 and earlier. The vulnerability is caused by improper validation of multipart upload headers when processing certificate-related upload fields. A remote attacker may exploit this vulnerability by sending a malformed multipart request, causing the affected CGI process to crash and resulting in a denial of service.
Executive ViewAI
GeoVision license plate cameras (GV-LPC2011/GV-LPC2211, firmware V1.12 and earlier) can be remotely disabled without authentication, disrupting both physical security surveillance and network access control operations until devices are manually rebooted. Organizations relying on these cameras for perimeter security and 802.1x network enforcement face operational outages and potential security gaps during incidents.
Network isolation: restrict inbound access to affected devices to administrative IP ranges only via firewall rules. Disable 802.1x upload functionality via device configuration if not required for operations. Implement device availability monitoring with automated alerts for service failures and runbooks for rapid restart procedures. Maintain inventory of replacement cameras for business-critical deployments pending firmware updates.
