Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires network reachability to the device's thttpd web server (the HTTP management interface) and the attacker must target the specific request path whose parameter handling lacks bounds checking; the malicious input is an overly long parameter value in that request. No authentication, credentials, or user interaction are required (PR:N/UI:N), and default configurations are exploitable since the vulnerable web server is the device's standard management interface. Limiting factors: the target must be one of the GV-LPC2011 or GV-LPC2211 models running firmware V1.12 or earlier, and the attacker must be able to reach the camera's HTTP port - devices segmented behind a firewall, VPN, or non-internet-facing management network are not remotely exploitable without first gaining network access. Reliable arbitrary code execution (versus a denial-of-service crash) is conditioned on the device's memory protections; the description only rates RCE as 'potentially' achievable.

Impact

Multiple signals converge toward high priority but with notable data gaps. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 9.8) describes the worst realistic case: network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated, no user interaction, full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or SSVC decision data was provided in the input, so exploitation probability and automatability cannot be quantified from the available data - the 9.8 reflects theoretical severity, not measured in-the-wild activity. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis. The description hedges the impact as 'memory corruption, denial of service, or potentially arbitrary code execution,' so reliable RCE is not confirmed and DoS is the assured outcome; the C:H/I:H rating in the vector is somewhat aspirational relative to that 'potentially' qualifier. Net assessment: treat as a genuine priority for any organization operating these cameras (unauthenticated network-triggered crash at minimum, plausible RCE), but the absence of EPSS/KEV means urgency should be calibrated to actual exposure (internet-facing vs. segmented) rather than assuming widespread active exploitation.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker scans for internet-exposed GeoVision GV-LPC cameras and sends a single crafted HTTP request containing an overly long parameter on the vulnerable request path to the thttpd server. The oversized input overflows a stack buffer, crashing the daemon (denial of service) and, on devices lacking stack protections, potentially redirecting execution to attacker-supplied code for full device compromise. No authentication or user interaction is required (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), making mass scanning trivial; no public proof-of-concept was identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 26, 2026

Remote code execution in GeoVision GV-LPC2011 and GV-LPC2211 license-plate-recognition cameras (firmware V1.12 and earlier) stems from a stack-based buffer overflow in the embedded thttpd web server, where overly long parameters in a specific request path overrun a fixed-size stack buffer. An unauthenticated remote attacker (per CVSS PR:N) can send a single crafted HTTP request to corrupt memory and cause denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code on the device. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 9.8 rating and lack of authentication make this a high-priority embedded-device exposure.

RemediationAI

No specific fixed firmware version was provided in the input, so no vendor-released patch version can be cited; consult GeoVision's security page at https://www.geovision.com.tw/cyber_security.php for the patched firmware build superseding V1.12 and upgrade affected GV-LPC2011/GV-LPC2211 units to it as the primary fix. Until a confirmed patch is applied, reduce exposure by removing these cameras from direct internet reachability and restricting access to the device web/management interface (thttpd HTTP port) to a dedicated management VLAN or trusted admin hosts via firewall ACLs - the trade-off is that legitimate remote administration must then traverse a VPN or jump host. Place the cameras behind a reverse proxy or network IPS that can drop HTTP requests with abnormally long parameters on the affected request path, accepting that custom inspection rules may need tuning to avoid breaking legitimate management traffic. Avoid exposing the camera UI through port-forwarding or UPnP, and disable any remote-access features not strictly required.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is thttpd (tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP daemon), a lightweight single-process web server commonly embedded in IP cameras and IoT appliances to serve their management interface. The root cause is CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow): the request handler copies attacker-controlled parameter data from a specific request path into a fixed-size stack buffer without validating its length, allowing the copy to overwrite the saved return address and adjacent stack data. The CPE 'cpe:2.3:a:geovision_inc.:gv-lpclpc2011/2211' identifies the affected products as GeoVision's GV-LPC2011 and GV-LPC2211 license-plate-recognition (LPR) camera units running firmware V1.12 or earlier. Embedded targets like these frequently run without modern stack protections (stack canaries, ASLR, NX) on constrained architectures, which raises the realistic likelihood that a stack overflow is exploitable for code execution rather than only crashing the service.

DescriptionCVE.org

An unauthenticated stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in thttpd in GeoVision GV-LPC2011 and GV-LPC2211 V1.12 and earlier. The vulnerability is caused by insufficient bounds checking when processing web request parameters in a specific request path. A remote attacker may exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request with overly long input, resulting in memory corruption, denial of service, or potentially arbitrary code execution.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

GeoVision license-plate recognition cameras (GV-LPC2011/GV-LPC2211) contain a critical remote code execution vulnerability that unauthenticated attackers can exploit remotely without user interaction or authentication. Organizations relying on these cameras for surveillance and traffic management face immediate risk of system compromise, loss of monitoring capability, and potential lateral movement into internal networks through compromised endpoints. No vendor patch is available, requiring immediate deployment of compensating controls to isolate these network-exposed devices.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Implement network segmentation isolating affected cameras to dedicated VLAN with inbound HTTP access restricted to authorized administrator networks only; (2) Disable all remote administration and external HTTP access; (3) Deploy intrusion detection signatures targeting stack overflow exploitation patterns on these endpoints; (4) Consider air-gapping cameras critical to security operations until patch availability; (5) Establish continuous monitoring of GeoVision security advisories and maintain incident response procedures for potential compromise detection.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than it was allocated to hold.

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.

Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
