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
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Notification Settings on GeoVision GV-ASWeb 6.2.0. An authenticated user with System Setting permissions can execute arbitrary commands on the server by sending a crafted HTTP POST request to the ASWebCommon.srf backend endpoint to bypass the frontend restrictions.

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

Authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in GeoVision GV-ASWeb 6.2.0 Notification Settings. An attacker with System Setting permissions can bypass frontend restrictions by sending crafted HTTP POST requests to the ASWebCommon.srf endpoint to execute arbitrary commands on the server.

MitigationApply vendor patch if available; otherwise restrict administrative access to trusted users only and implement strict input validation on backend endpoints to prevent command injection.

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 GV-ASWeb installation and version
    Locate the GV-ASWeb installation directory or check the web interface login page for version information. Typically found in the application's about page or in installed program files under the GeoVision directory.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 6.2.0 or falls within the affected range around 6.2.0.
  2. Verify user permission level
    Log into GV-ASWeb and navigate to User Management or System Settings. Check the account details for the user in question to see if 'System Setting' permissions are granted.
    Affected if The user account has System Setting permissions enabled.
  3. Check Notification Settings accessibility
    Navigate to Notification Settings within the GV-ASWeb administration panel. Attempt to access the settings page that handles notifications (email, SMS, or event notifications).
    Affected if The Notification Settings page is accessible to the authenticated user with System Setting permissions.
  4. Inspect ASWebCommon.srf endpoint accessibility
    Examine web server logs or use network inspection tools to determine if requests to /ASWebCommon.srf are being processed. Check if this endpoint responds to POST requests.
    Affected if The ASWebCommon.srf endpoint is reachable and accepts POST requests from authenticated users.
  5. Review web application logs for suspicious activity
    Check GV-ASWeb server logs for any unusual or crafted POST requests to ASWebCommon.srf, particularly those containing unexpected parameter patterns that may indicate exploitation attempts.

A user is affected if GV-ASWeb version 6.2.0 is running and the user account has System Setting permissions, allowing access to the vulnerable Notification Settings feature via the ASWebCommon.srf endpoint.
