CVE-2026-13125: CWE-306 Missing authentication for critical function in GeoVision Inc. GeoWebPlayer
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. In order to access the websocket server, no authentication is required. As such, any malicious website can attempt to open a connection to the server and potentially access sensitive APIs. In particular, it's possible to call a combination of the `create` method and `getScreenCapture` to retrieve the content of the user's screen.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
GeoWebPlayer (also known as Web Plugin or WS Player) is an addon for GeoVision software that provides a websocket server to extend web interface capabilities. In version 1.1.1.0, this websocket server lacks authentication, enabling unauthorized remote connections. An attacker can exploit this by invoking the 'create' and 'getScreenCapture' methods to retrieve the user's screen content without permission. This represents a critical missing authentication control on a sensitive function, leading to potential confidentiality and availability impacts.
Potential Impact
An attacker can remotely connect to the GeoWebPlayer websocket server without authentication and invoke API methods to capture the user's screen content. This results in a high confidentiality impact due to unauthorized disclosure of screen data, a low integrity impact, and a low availability impact. The vulnerability allows sensitive information exposure through unauthorized access to critical functions.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official fix or patch is currently available for this vulnerability. Since the websocket server does not require authentication, users should restrict access to the GeoWebPlayer service through network controls such as firewall rules or segmentation to prevent untrusted websites or external actors from connecting. Monitor vendor advisories for any future patches or official remediation guidance.
