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. #### byPass 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 · moderate confidence

GeoWebPlayer's websocket server accepts commands with an unvalidated 'index' parameter used to access arrays. Without bounds checking, an attacker can supply an out-of-range index to access memory outside array boundaries, potentially reaching critical sections and triggering arbitrary function calls.

MitigationApply vendor patch when available; until then, restrict local access to the websocket server and monitor for anomalous index values in logs.

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. Verify GeoWebPlayer is installed
    Search for GeoWebPlayer executable or service on the system. Common locations: /usr/bin/, /usr/local/bin/, or check system services. On Windows, check Program Files directories.
    Affected if GeoWebPlayer application is found on the system
  2. Determine installed GeoWebPlayer version
    Run 'geowebplayer --version' or check the application's About/Version information. If installed as a service, check the service properties.
    Affected if Version is unknown, unpatched, or within any vulnerable range provided by the vendor
  3. Confirm websocket server is running
    Check if the GeoWebPlayer websocket server process is active. Use commands like 'ps aux | grep -i geowebplayer' on Linux or check services on Windows. Also check open ports (typically 8080 or similar) with 'netstat -an | grep LISTEN'.
    Affected if The websocket server process is running and listening on a network port
  4. Verify websocket server binding
    Check the configuration files or running process to determine if the websocket server binds to localhost only or is accessible over the network. Review configuration files in the GeoWebPlayer install directory.
    Affected if The websocket server binds to all interfaces (0.0.0.0) rather than localhost only, making it accessible remotely
  5. Review logs for anomalous websocket commands
    Examine GeoWebPlayer server logs for websocket commands containing unusual or out-of-range index parameter values. Look for error messages related to array access or memory operations.
    Affected if Logs show websocket commands with malformed index values or out-of-bounds access attempts

A user is affected if GeoWebPlayer with a vulnerable version is installed and its websocket server is running and accessible (especially if not restricted to localhost only).
