# CVE-2026-4606: GeoVision ERM Improper Privilege Assignment Leads to SYSTEM-Level Privilege

- Severity: CVSS 10.0 (Critical), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/S:N/AU:N/R:I/V:C/RE:M/U:Green

## Affected

- GV-Edge Recording Manager: 2.3.1

## 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.
