What is CVE-2005-1553?
The GeoVision Digital Video Surveillance System versions 6.04, 6.1, and 7.0 implement a weak encryption mechanism for user passwords. This flawed approach enables remote attackers to capture and decrypt these passwords through sniffing techniques, thereby compromising user accounts and potentially accessing sensitive surveillance information. Organizations using this software need to assess their exposure and consider necessary mitigations to safeguard their systems against unauthorized access.
