CVE-2026-12849: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command

Multiple OS command injection vulnerabilities exist in the libNetSetObj.so functionality of GeoVision GV-I/O Box 4E 2.09. A specially crafted network packet can lead to command execution. An attacker can send a network request to trigger this vulnerability.

`libNetSetObj.so` is an internal library used by various binaries on the device to configure the network stack (start and stop various services, configure IP, Netmask, gateway, dns, etc.)

#### CNetSetObj::m_F_n_Set_Net_Mask command injection

The following function takes a string as a net mask address, performs no sanitization on it and calls `system`. This is a classic command injection vulnerability. The function is reachable from both the network-exposed `DVRSearch` service and the `Network.cgi` endpoint.

int __fastcall CNetSetObj::m_F_n_Set_Net_Mask(const char **this, char *netmask_addr)

{

bool v2; // zf

char v4[72]; // [sp+0h] [bp-48h] BYREF

v2 = *this == 0;

if ( *this )

v2 = netmask_addr == 0;

if ( v2 )

return 0;

sprintf(v4, "/sbin/ifconfig %s netmask %s", *this, netmask_addr); // attacker controlled netmask_addr

system(v4);

return 1;

}
