CRITICAL

GeoVision ERM Improper Privilege Assignment Leads to SYSTEM-Level Privilege

Published Mar 23, 2026

Description

GV Edge Recording Manager (ERM) v2.3.1 improperly runs application components with SYSTEM-level privileges, allowing any local user to gain full control of the operating system. 

During installation, ERM creates a Windows service that runs under the LocalSystem account. 

When the ERM application is launched, related processes are spawned under SYSTEM privileges rather than the security context of the logged-in user. 

Functions such as 'Import Data' open a Windows file dialog operating with SYSTEM permissions, enabling modification or deletion of protected system files and directories. 

Any ERM function invoking Windows file open/save dialogs exposes the same risk. 

This vulnerability allows local privilege escalation and may result in full system compromise.
