Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in GeoVision GV-Edge Recording Manager up to 2.3.1. It has been declared as critical. This vulnerability affects an unknown part of the component Windows Service. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a unnecessary privileges vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-250. The product performs an operation at a privilege level that is higher than the minimum level required, which creates new weaknesses or amplifies the consequences of other weaknesses. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

GV Edge Recording Manager (ERM) v2.3.1 improperly runs application components with SYSTEM-level privileges, allowing any local user to gain full control of the operating system.  During installation, ERM creates a Windows service that runs under the LocalSystem account.  When the ERM application is launched, related processes are spawned under SYSTEM privileges rather than the security context of the logged-in user.  Functions such as 'Import Data' open a Windows file dialog operating with SYSTEM permissions, enabling modification or deletion of protected system files and directories.  Any ERM function invoking Windows file open/save dialogs exposes the same risk.  This vulnerability allows local privilege escalation and may result in full system compromise.

The advisory is available at geovision.com.tw. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-4606 since 03/23/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack.
