Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

1. Immediately audit and disable or change all default guest and weak credentials on GV-ASManager installations to strong, unique passwords. 2. Implement strict access controls and role-based permissions within GV-ASManager to limit user privileges and reduce the risk of unauthorized access. 3. Restrict network access to the GV-ASWeb service to trusted IP addresses or via VPN to minimize exposure to potential attackers. 4. Monitor authentication logs and access patterns for unusual or unauthorized login attempts, especially those involving guest accounts. 5. If possible, isolate the GV-ASManager system from the internet or untrusted networks to reduce attack surface. 6. Engage with GeoVision support or monitor official channels for patches or updates addressing this vulnerability and apply them promptly once available. 7. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on authentication and authorization mechanisms within GV-ASManager. 8. Educate system administrators and security teams about the risks of default credentials and missing authorization controls to improve operational security practices.

Description

GeoVision GV-ASManager Missing Authorization Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of GeoVision GV-ASManager. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, default guest credentials may be used. The specific flaw exists within the GV-ASWeb service. The issue results from the lack of authorization prior to allowing access to functionality. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose stored credentials, leading to further compromise. Was ZDI-CAN-25394.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2024-12553 is the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, particularly stored credentials, which can lead to further system compromise. Organizations using GeoVision GV-ASManager 6.1.0 may face increased risk of lateral movement or privilege escalation within their environments if attackers exploit this vulnerability. Although the vulnerability does not directly affect system integrity or availability, the confidentiality breach can undermine trust and security posture, especially in environments relying on GV-ASManager for access control or surveillance management. The use of default guest credentials exacerbates the risk, as attackers can gain initial access with minimal effort. This threat is particularly concerning for organizations with critical physical security infrastructure managed by GV-ASManager, as compromise could lead to unauthorized physical access or surveillance manipulation. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently limits immediate widespread impact, but the vulnerability remains a significant risk if left unmitigated.

The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
Architecture and Design
Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
Architecture and Design
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
