GV-Eye: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-103098 is a high-severity cleartext transmission of sensitive information vulnerability in GV-Eye from GeoVision, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected GV-Eye versions: V3.6.0. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.16% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Next patch cycle

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Check which version of GV-Eye you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
  2. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

Transmission of a sensitive key in the URL over an unencrypted HTTP connection. The request is sent over HTTP rather than HTTPS, meaning the key is transmitted in plaintext across the network. An attacker with the ability to monitor network traffic could intercept the request and obtain the key

The underlying weakness: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information

The product transmits sensitive or security-critical data in cleartext in a communication channel that can be sniffed by unauthorized actors.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Before transmitting, encrypt the data using reliable, confidentiality-protecting cryptographic protocols.
  • When using web applications with SSL, use SSL for the entire session from login to logout, not just for the initial login page.
  • When designing hardware platforms, ensure that approved encryption algorithms (such as those recommended by NIST) protect paths from security critical data to trusted user applications.
