GeoWebPlayer (also called "Web Plugin" in the GV-VMS documentation and "WS Player" for VMS-Cloud) is an addon that can be installed with various GeoVision software (GV-VMS, GV-Cloud, ...). It creates a websocket server that expands the capabilities of the various web-interfaces provided by the GeoVision software and may be necessary for them to function properly.
The Websocket server can accept various commands coming from localhost. Many of the commands will take an index value that is then used to access various arrays to enter critical sections, perform various actions via function calls, etc. However the index value is usually not checked for valid range, and as such it can be used to access multiple arrays out-of-bound.
saveVideo command index-out-of-bound
When sending the saveVideo command, the index field is extracted from the websocket message [1]. Then without checking the range of the index, it is used to trigger a CriticalSection ([2]) and releases it [3]. The release function call ([3]) is executed using a function pointer which will be read out of bounds potentially leading to code execution:
v6 = get_entry(a2, "index");
result = json_is_value_int(v6);
if ( (_BYTE)result )
{
v8 = get_entry(a2, "index");
index = json_value_to_int(&v8->value); // [1]
result = CCriticalSection::EnterCritSection(&this->crit_sections[index]); //[2]
if ( result )
{
if ( this->array_of_IPCams[index] )
{
if ( this->array_of_IPCams[index]->field_20 )
do_PostMessageA((CViewer *)this->array_of_IPCams[index], 0x111u, 0x139Fu, v11);
}
return (*(int (__thiscall **)(CCriticalSection *))(this->crit_sections[index].vtbl + 20))(&this->crit_sections[index]); //[3]
}
}
SSVC (CISA's decision table, applied by EchelonGraph)Track at low or medium mission impact; Track* at high (mission-essential systems).
No fix is confirmed yet. Restrict network exposure of the affected system or apply the vendor's mitigation within your standard update timelines, and watch the vendor's advisory for the fix.
Exploitation none (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact total (CISA Vulnrichment). All three are CISA's SSVC values (Vulnrichment). EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact total (CISA Vulnrichment). Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
