"....
Multiple issues have been found in GeoVision Digital Video Surveillance
System, these vulnerabilities revolve around poor authentication
mechanisms.
These issues allow sniffed authentication credentials to be reused as-is or
unscrambled to allow the discovery of the original password. In certain
configurations still pictures from security cameras can be viewed without
providing any authentication.
....

The vendor has added in version 7.0 a section known as 'Enhanced Network
Security' that suppose to help in fixing this issue, but this option is not
set by default.
