CVE-2026-12850: CWE-78 Improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command ('OS command injection') in GeoVision Inc. GV-I/O Box 4E
Multiple OS command injection vulnerabilities exist in the libNetSetObj.so functionality of GeoVision GV-I/O Box 4E 2.09. A specially crafted network packet can lead to command execution. An attacker can send a network request to trigger this vulnerability. `libNetSetObj.so` is an internal library used by various binaries on the device to configure the network stack (start and stop various services, configure IP, Netmask, gateway, dns, etc.) #### CNetSetObj::m_F_n_Set_Gate_way command injection The following function takes a string as a gatewy address, performs no sanitization on it and calls `system`. This is a classic command injection vulnerability. The function is reachable from both the network-exposed `DVRSearch` service and the `Network.cgi` endpoint. int __fastcall CNetSetObj::m_F_n_Set_Gate_way(const char **this, char *gw, char *dev) { char s[324]; // [sp+4h] [bp-144h] BYREF if ( !dev && !*this || !gw ) return 0; system("/sbin/route del -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 224.0.0.0"); system("/sbin/route del default "); if ( dev ) sprintf(s, "/sbin/route add default gw %s dev %s", gw, dev); //attacker controlled gw string else sprintf(s, "/sbin/route add default gw %s dev %s", gw, *this); //attacker controlled gw string system(s); sprintf(s, "/sbin/route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 224.0.0.0 gw %s dev %s", gw, *this); //attacker controlled gw string system(s); return 1; }
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves multiple OS command injection flaws in the libNetSetObj.so component of GeoVision GV-I/O Box 4E version 2.09. The function CNetSetObj::m_F_n_Set_Gate_way takes a gateway address string from network requests without sanitization and uses it directly in system calls to configure network routes. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands remotely by sending crafted network packets to the DVRSearch service or the Network.cgi endpoint. The CVSS 3.1 score is 9.1, indicating critical severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and requiring high privileges.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands on the affected device, leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This could result in unauthorized control over network configuration and potentially the entire device.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates. Until a fix is released, restrict network access to the affected services (DVRSearch and Network.cgi) to trusted users only and consider disabling these services if feasible to reduce exposure.
