CVE-2026-92838: CWE-427: Uncontrolled Search Path Element in GeoVision Inc. GV-Remote E-map
CVE-2026-92838 is a DLL hijacking vulnerability in GeoVision Inc.'s GV-Remote E-map desktop application version 18.3.1. The application loads dynamic-link libraries from an unsafe search path, which allows a local attacker with write access to place a malicious DLL in a location searched before the legitimate one. Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the GV-Remote E-map process. The vulnerability has a high severity rating with a CVSS score of 7.8.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-92838) involves an uncontrolled search path element (CWE-427) in the GeoVision GV-Remote E-map desktop application version 18.3.1. The application loads DLLs from an unsafe search path, enabling a local attacker with write permissions to insert a malicious DLL that the application will load instead of the legitimate one. This can result in arbitrary code execution within the security context of the application process.
Potential Impact
An attacker with local write access to the affected directory can execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the GV-Remote E-map process. This could lead to full compromise of the application and potentially the underlying system depending on the application's privileges.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict write permissions to directories used by GV-Remote E-map for DLL loading to trusted users only to reduce risk.
