Technical details

A missing authentication vulnerability (CWE-306) exists in the WebSocket server functionality of GeoVision GeoWebPlayer (also known as Web Plugin or WS Player). The server, which typically listens on localhost:9100, does not require authentication for incoming connections. A remote attacker can exploit this by hosting a malicious webpage that, when visited by a user with the plugin installed, initiates a WebSocket connection to the local server. By calling a sequence of the 'create' and 'getScreenCapture' methods, the attacker can bypass Same-Origin Policy (SOP) protections and exfiltrate real-time screenshots of the user's desktop. The vulnerability is fixed in version V1.1.3.0.
