CVE-2026-12850: GeoVision GV-I/O Box 4E libNetSetObj.so OS command injection vulnerability

Published Jun 24, 2026

Updated

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::mFnSetGateway 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::mFnSetGateway(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;

}

Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Configuration

    At the firewall/network layer, restrict access to the GeoVision GV-I/O Box 4E DVRSearch service and the Network.cgi endpoint to only trusted IPs (or disable external exposure) to prevent triggering the command injection via CNetSetObj::m_F_n_Set_Gate_way.

    GeoVision GV-I/O Box 4E Disable or block network access to the DVRSearch service and Network.cgi endpoint = Restrict/deny inbound access so attackers cannot reach CNetSetObj::m_F_n_Set_Gate_way (reachable from DVRSearch and Network.cgi)
  2. Compensating control

    Place the GeoVision GV-I/O Box 4E behind network isolation (e.g., segment it so only required admin/management clients can reach DVRSearch/Network.cgi) to mitigate exploitation of the OS command injection in libNetSetObj.so.
