Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionGitHub Advisory
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the CDN plugin endpoints plugin/CDN/status.json.php and plugin/CDN/disable.json.php use key-based authentication with an empty string default key. When the CDN plugin is enabled but the key has not been configured (the default state), the key validation check is completely bypassed, allowing any unauthenticated attacker to modify the full CDN configuration - including CDN URLs, storage credentials, and the authentication key itself - via mass-assignment through the par request parameter. Commit adeff0a31ba04a56f411eef256139fd7ed7d4310 contains a patch.
AnalysisAI
WWBN AVideo video platform up to and including version 26.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the CDN plugin that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to completely modify CDN configuration settings including storage credentials and authentication keys. The vulnerability stems from the CDN plugin's default empty string authentication key, which causes validation checks to be bypassed entirely when the plugin is enabled but not properly configured. The CVSS score of 8.6 reflects high integrity impact with network-based exploitation requiring no privileges or user interaction.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability affects WWBN AVideo (cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), an open-source PHP-based video streaming platform. The root cause is CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function), where the CDN plugin endpoints plugin/CDN/status.json.php and plugin/CDN/disable.json.php implement key-based authentication but default to an empty string as the authentication key. When administrators enable the CDN plugin without explicitly configuring a custom key, the validation logic is completely bypassed because the empty default key matches the uninitialized state. The vulnerability is compounded by mass-assignment through the 'par' request parameter, allowing attackers to modify arbitrary CDN configuration properties including URLs, storage credentials, and even the authentication key itself.
RemediationAI
Apply the patch available in commit adeff0a31ba04a56f411eef256139fd7ed7d4310 by upgrading to a version newer than 26.0 that includes this fix (see https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/commit/adeff0a31ba04a56f411eef256139fd7ed7d4310 and https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-r64r-883r-wcwh). If immediate patching is not possible, disable the CDN plugin entirely if not in active use, or immediately configure a strong authentication key for the CDN plugin to prevent the bypass condition. Review CDN configuration settings for unauthorized modifications including URLs, storage credentials, and authentication keys, and implement network-level access controls to restrict access to CDN plugin endpoints to trusted IP ranges only.
