Technical details

A directory traversal vulnerability exists in the get_fcont.cgi component of GeoVision GV-LPC2011 and GV-LPC2211 firmware versions V1.12 and earlier. The issue stems from insufficient validation of user-supplied file path input before the CGI component accesses the requested file. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted HTTP request containing path traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to read arbitrary files accessible to the web server process. This vulnerability is addressed in firmware version V1.13.
