CVE-2026-18754: CWE-321 Use of hard-coded cryptographic key in GeoVision Inc. GV-AS1620 (GV-Cloud)
CVE-2026-18754 is a critical vulnerability in GeoVision Inc.'s GV-AS1620 (GV-Cloud) firmware version 1.16. The product firmware contains a hard-coded static RSA private key used by the Lighttpd web server for TLS termination. Exposure of this private key allows attackers to decrypt HTTPS traffic and spoof the server, compromising confidentiality and integrity of communications.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The GV-AS1620 (GV-Cloud) firmware version 1.16 embeds a static RSA private key within the Lighttpd web server used for TLS termination. This hard-coded cryptographic key (CWE-321) can be extracted by malicious actors, enabling them to decrypt HTTPS traffic and impersonate the server. This undermines the security guarantees of TLS, allowing breaches of confidentiality and integrity of communications. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.1, indicating critical severity. No official patch or remediation has been published yet, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows attackers to decrypt encrypted HTTPS traffic and perform server spoofing attacks. This compromises the confidentiality and integrity of communications between clients and the affected device. The vulnerability does not impact availability. Given the critical CVSS score, the risk to sensitive data and secure communications is high.
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, consider limiting exposure of the affected device to untrusted networks and using network-level protections such as VPNs or secure tunnels to mitigate interception risks.
