Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
GeoWebPlayer (also called "Web Plugin" in the GV-VMS documentation and "WS Player" for VMS-Cloud) is an addon that can be installed with various GeoVision software (GV-VMS, GV-Cloud, ...). It creates a websocket server that expands the capabilities of the various web-interfaces provided by the GeoVision software and may be necessary for them to function properly. The Websocket server can accept various commands coming from localhost. Many of the commands will take an `index` value that is then used to access various arrays to enter critical sections, perform various actions via function calls, etc. However the `index` value is usually not checked for valid range, and as such it can be used to access multiple arrays out-of-bound. #### setPIP command index-out-of-bound

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The GeoWebPlayer websocket server fails to validate the index parameter in commands like setPIP, allowing attackers to access arrays out-of-bounds. This missing bounds check on array indices can lead to memory corruption, potential code execution, or denial of service.

MitigationRestrict local access to the GeoWebPlayer websocket server to trusted local processes only. Monitor for vendor patches and apply them when available.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm GeoWebPlayer is installed
    Search for GeoWebPlayer in installed programs (Windows: Programs and Features, Linux: dpkg -l or rpm -qa), or look for GeoWebPlayer executables and installation directories
    Affected if GeoWebPlayer is found on the system
  2. Identify the websocket server component
    Locate the GeoWebPlayer installation directory and identify the websocket server executable or module (commonly named geowebplayer.exe, geowebplayer, or similar). Check for open network ports using 'netstat -an | grep <port>' or review configuration files for websocket bind addresses
    Affected if A websocket server component is running or configured to run
  3. Verify the setPIP command is accessible
    If you can interact with the websocket server, send a test message to invoke the setPIP command with a valid index value to confirm the command interface is exposed. Check documentation or binary analysis for command handlers
    Affected if The setPIP command handler is present and reachable
  4. Test for index validation vulnerability
    Send a websocket message to the setPIP command with an out-of-bounds index value (e.g., negative number, very large number, or beyond array bounds) and observe the response or system behavior. Monitor for crashes, errors, or unexpected memory access
    Affected if Out-of-bounds index values are accepted without validation and cause crashes, errors, or unexpected behavior
  5. Check if websocket server accepts external connections
    Review configuration files and network settings to determine if the websocket server binds to all interfaces (0.0.0.0) or localhost only, and whether authentication or process restrictions are configured
    Affected if The websocket server accepts commands from untrusted sources or is exposed to network access

A user is affected if GeoWebPlayer with a websocket server is running and the setPIP command accepts unvalidated index parameters that cause out-of-bounds array access.
