CVE-2024-11120
RCE in Geovision Gvlx 4 Firmware
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2024-11120 is a critical-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Geovision Gvlx 4 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique NTDS (T1003.003); ranked in the top 2% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; CISA has added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
Certain EOL GeoVision devices contain an OS command injection vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-11120 and assigned CWE-78. The flaw permits unauthenticated remote attackers to supply and execute arbitrary system commands, reflected in its CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8 with a network attack vector, no required credentials or user interaction, and full impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Attackers can reach affected devices directly over the network and obtain complete control by injecting operating-system commands. The vulnerability has already been exploited in the wild, with incident reports confirming active use against these end-of-life products.
TW-CERT advisories and the Akamai security research blog detail the issue and note its incorporation into Mirai-based IoT botnets, while CISA has added the CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. The associated EPSS score reached a peak of 0.6614 with no subsequent material change.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.
Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.
Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.
Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.
Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.
Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
