Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires only network reachability to the vlsvr service's login endpoint on a GV-LPC2011 or GV-LPC2211 running firmware V1.12 or earlier - per CVSS PR:N/UI:N it is unauthenticated and needs no user interaction, so any attacker who can reach the login port can send the crafted format-string payload. The principal limiting factor is exposure: the device must be network-accessible to the attacker (internet-facing or same network segment), and only the affected models/firmware are vulnerable. There is no special non-default configuration requirement called out in the description; the login path is a core, always-available function.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, fully unauthenticated attack against the login path, which is a genuinely high-priority profile for an internet- or LAN-exposed camera. Impact is rated C:L/I:L/A:H - availability is the dominant, most dependable result (DoS via crash), while confidentiality/integrity are partial, consistent with probabilistic format-string memory reads/writes rather than guaranteed full compromise. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided, so there is no evidence of active exploitation or weaponization yet; the risk is therefore driven by ease of access and product exposure rather than confirmed in-the-wild activity. Note a mild tension: format-string bugs can sometimes escalate to code execution, but the vendor/CVSS data only claims info disclosure, corruption, and DoS, so RCE should be treated as unconfirmed.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with network access to a GV-LPC camera's login service submits login data containing format specifiers (e.g., %x%x%n) instead of valid credentials. Because the input is fed directly into a log-formatting call, the device leaks memory back to the attacker or crashes the vlsvr service, taking the camera offline. No authentication or user interaction is required, and no public POC has been identified.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 26, 2026

Unauthenticated format string flaw in the vlsvr service of GeoVision GV-LPC2011 and GV-LPC2211 license plate recognition cameras (firmware V1.12 and earlier) lets remote attackers send crafted login data that the device passes unsanitized into a log-formatting routine. Successful exploitation can leak memory contents, corrupt memory, or crash the service, with the high availability impact (CVSS 8.6) reflecting denial of service as the most reliable outcome. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Consult the GeoVision security advisory at https://www.geovision.com.tw/cyber_security.php and upgrade GV-LPC2011/GV-LPC2211 firmware to a release later than V1.12 once the vendor publishes a fixed build - no exact patched version number was provided in the input, so Patch availability per vendor advisory should be verified directly with GeoVision. Until a confirmed fixed firmware is applied, restrict network reachability of the vlsvr service: place the cameras on an isolated management VLAN, block their login/management ports at the perimeter firewall so they are not exposed to the internet, and limit access to known operator IP addresses via ACLs (trade-off: legitimate remote management must traverse a VPN or jump host). Monitor the devices for unexpected reboots or service crashes as a signature of attempted exploitation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

GeoVision GV-LPC2011/GV-LPC2211 are dedicated license plate capture/recognition camera appliances; vlsvr is the network-facing service that processes login requests. The root cause is CWE-134 (Use of Externally-Controlled Format String): attacker-supplied login data reaches a formatting function (e.g., a printf-family call or logging wrapper) as part of the format string rather than as a data argument. Format specifiers such as %x/%s/%n in the input are then interpreted, allowing the attacker to read adjacent stack/memory (%x, %s) for information disclosure or write to memory (%n) for corruption - the classic mechanism behind both the info-leak and memory-corruption outcomes described.

DescriptionCVE.org

An unauthenticated format string vulnerability exists in vlsvr in GeoVision GV-LPC2011 and GV-LPC2211 V1.12 and earlier. The vulnerability is caused by improper handling of externally controlled input during log message formatting in the login processing path. A remote attacker may exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted login data, potentially causing information disclosure, memory corruption, or a denial of service.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

GeoVision GV-LPC2011 and GV-LPC2211 license plate recognition cameras (firmware V1.12 and earlier) are vulnerable to unauthenticated remote denial of service and potential memory disclosure through a format string flaw in the vlsvr service. Traffic management and parking enforcement operations relying on these cameras face service disruption risk with no vendor patch currently available. Immediate network isolation is critical to prevent exploitation.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: implement firewall rules blocking unauthenticated access to vlsvr service; place vulnerable cameras on isolated network segment with restricted lateral movement; disable vlsvr service if not required for primary functionality; deploy intrusion detection rules to alert on format string attack patterns; consider deploying additional license plate recognition systems outside the vulnerable hardware as temporary operational redundancy pending patch availability.
