| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to occupy an on-path/man-in-the-middle position able to observe the victim's network traffic (e.g., shared LAN, public/unencrypted Wi-Fi, a compromised router, or any intermediate hop) while GV-Eye V3.6.0 sends the affected request. The vulnerable behavior is the application transmitting a sensitive key as a URL parameter over HTTP rather than HTTPS, so the key appears in cleartext. Limiting factors: the attacker cannot exploit this remotely without traffic visibility - there is no server-side trigger an arbitrary internet attacker can reach; the key is only exposed when the specific HTTP request carrying it is actually made, and the exposure disappears if the deployment or endpoint already enforces TLS. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but context-limited confidentiality issue rather than a top-tier emergency. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/C:H) yields 7.5 (High), driven entirely by confidentiality impact (C:H) with no integrity or availability effect. However, the CVSS vector arguably overstates ease of attack: the description explicitly requires an attacker 'with the ability to monitor network traffic' - i.e., a man-in-the-middle/on-path position - which in practice is a meaningful precondition and would more honestly map to AC:H rather than AC:L. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation; exploitation status cannot be elevated beyond theoretical. No SSVC decision data was supplied. Net: the technical impact (plaintext leakage of a sensitive key) is real and the fix (enforce HTTPS) is straightforward, but real-world risk is gated by the attacker needing network-path access to the victim's traffic, and by the niche deployment footprint of GeoVision GV-Eye. Treat as a standard-priority patch, not a drop-everything issue, absent evidence of exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A user of the GeoVision GV-Eye application triggers a request that includes a sensitive key as a URL parameter, but the request is sent over plaintext HTTP instead of HTTPS. An attacker positioned on the same network segment, a shared/public Wi-Fi link, or any intermediate hop passively captures the traffic and reads the key directly from the URL. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data; the attack requires only standard packet-capture tooling once the attacker is on the network path. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 02, 2026
GV-Eye V3.6.0 transmits a sensitive key as a URL parameter over unencrypted HTTP, so the key travels across the network in cleartext and can be captured by anyone positioned to observe that traffic. With AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, the impact is a high-confidence confidentiality loss with no integrity or availability effect - the assessed vector differs from the reported 7.5 score only in attack complexity (High instead of Low), because exploitation requires an on-path/man-in-the-middle vantage point rather than a directly reachable server-side trigger. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, so this is a context-limited confidentiality weakness rather than an actively exploited emergency; the EPSS-derived urgency is not elevated by any confirmed exploitation signal in the supplied data.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch was identified in the available intelligence, and no exact fixed version number can be cited from the supplied data; the GeoVision security advisory at https://www.geovision.com.tw/cyber_security.php is the authoritative source to check for an updated build and should be monitored for a fixed GV-Eye release. Until a fix is confirmed, the most effective control is to eliminate the plaintext path entirely: force all GV-Eye-to-server traffic through TLS by fronting the backend with an HTTPS reverse proxy or placing the client behind a VPN, which removes the cleartext request from any intermediate hop - accepting the trade-offs of added latency and, for a VPN, per-device credential and client management overhead. If TLS cannot be enforced on the appliance itself, restrict GV-Eye use to trusted, segmented networks and treat open or public Wi-Fi use as prohibited; note that this reduces but does not remove exposure on a shared LAN, since any on-path host on that segment can still observe traffic. Disabling or blocking plaintext HTTP to the surveillance server (for example by firewall rule or access-control list on the relevant port) is a stronger compensating control, but it will break client functionality on any device or workflow that only supports HTTP, so it should be introduced with a full inventory of connected clients first. Additionally, scrub URL query strings from proxy, web, and application logs and disable referrer forwarding for the affected endpoint to limit secondary leakage of the key, and rotate any key that is known or suspected to have traversed an untrusted network, since interception cannot be detected after the fact.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause class is CWE-319, Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information: the application places a sensitive key inside the URL query string of an HTTP request instead of sending it over TLS. URL-borne secrets are inherently more exposed than body parameters because they are routinely retained outside the application - web/proxy access logs, HTTP referrer headers, browser and client history, and any intermediate caching or inspection device along the path - in addition to being visible to a passive network observer. The affected component is GeoVision's GV-Eye client, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:geovision_inc.:gv-eye:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* (version fields wildcarded) and pinned to the concrete release GV-Eye V3.6.0 by the ENISA EUVD entry. The defect is a transport-security failure, not a memory-safety or injection flaw: no malformed input or server-side parsing bug is involved, and the key is exposed only during the window in which the specific HTTP request carrying it is actually issued. Because the assessed vector is AV:N/AC:H/PR:N, remote unauthenticated capture is only meaningful for an adversary who already occupies an on-path position - a shared LAN, an open or unencrypted Wi-Fi segment, a compromised router, or any intermediate hop - which is what lowers the effective severity relative to the nominal 7.5.

DescriptionCVE.org
Transmission of a sensitive key in the URL over an unencrypted HTTP connection. The request is sent over HTTP rather than HTTPS, meaning the key is transmitted in plaintext across the network. An attacker with the ability to monitor network traffic could intercept the request and obtain the key
Executive ViewAI
GV-Eye V3.6.0 transmits a sensitive key in cleartext over HTTP, so an unauthenticated on-path attacker who can observe network traffic may capture it and cause a high-confidence confidentiality loss. This affects organizations relying on GV-Eye for video surveillance or related operations, where exposure of that key could enable unauthorized access to protected resources, and leadership should care because no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis means compensating controls and vendor engagement are required. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; interim mitigations include enforcing HTTPS/TLS for GV-Eye V3.6.0 communications, avoiding use over untrusted networks, segmenting surveillance systems, restricting access to trusted users and networks, monitoring for cleartext key transmission, and rotating any potentially exposed sensitive key.
