CVE-2026-7372 Details
Description
A stack overflow vulnerability exists in the WebCam Server Login functionality of GeoVision GV-VMS V20 20.0.2. A specially crafted HTTP request can lead to an arbitrary code execution. An attacker can make an unauthenticated HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability. #### Stack-overflow via unconstrained sscanf The call to `sscanf` at [1] to split the `Buffer` variable into the `username` and `password` variables doesn't limit the size of the extracted content to match the destination buffers' sizes. In this case, if either the username or password decoded from the authorization string exceeds `40` characters (the size the stack variables `username` and `password`) then a stack overflow will occur. The data is controlled by an attacker, but sronger constraints (e.g. no null bytes) may make exploitation harder. A successful attack could lead to full code execution as SYSTEM on the machine running the service.
A stack overflow vulnerability has been identified in the WebCam Server Login feature of GeoVision GV-VMS version 20.0.2. This vulnerability allows for arbitrary code execution. The issue arises because the 'sscanf' function is used to parse the 'Buffer' variable into 'username' and 'password' variables without restricting the size of the extracted data to fit the destination buffers. If either the username or password exceeds 40 characters, a stack overflow occurs. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted HTTP request, leading to code execution with SYSTEM privileges on the affected machine.
