Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionGitHub Advisory
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the verifyTokenSocket() function in plugin/YPTSocket/functions.php has its token timeout validation commented out, causing WebSocket tokens to never expire despite being generated with a 12-hour timeout. This allows captured or legitimately obtained tokens to provide permanent WebSocket access, even after user accounts are deleted, banned, or demoted from admin. Admin tokens grant access to real-time connection data for all online users including IP addresses, browser info, and page locations. Commit 5d5237121bf82c24e9e0fdd5bc1699f1157783c5 fixes the issue.
AnalysisAI
WebSocket token validation bypass in WWBN AVideo versions up to 26.0 allows authenticated attackers to retain permanent real-time access to sensitive connection metadata after account revocation. The verifyTokenSocket() function fails to enforce token expiration despite generating 12-hour timeouts, enabling captured tokens to grant indefinite access to admin-level data including IP addresses, browser fingerprints, and user page locations. Authenticated users (PR:L per CVSS vector) can exploit this to maintain surveillance capabilities even after account deletion or privilege demotion. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
WWBN AVideo is an open-source PHP-based video platform utilizing WebSocket functionality for real-time communication. The vulnerability exists in the plugin/YPTSocket/functions.php file where the verifyTokenSocket() function contains commented-out token timeout validation logic (CWE-613: Insufficient Session Expiration). WebSocket tokens are cryptographically generated with a declared 12-hour validity period, but the expiration check is disabled in the validation routine, causing the token authentication mechanism to treat all previously-issued tokens as indefinitely valid. This is a session management failure at the protocol level affecting authenticated WebSocket connections. The CPE specification (cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) confirms impact across all AVideo deployments.
RemediationAI
Upgrade WWBN AVideo to the version incorporating commit 5d5237121bf82c24e9e0fdd5bc1699f1157783c5 or later. Consult the vendor security advisory at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-2mg4-pfgx-64cf for confirmed release version details and timeline. Until patching is possible, immediately rotate all existing WebSocket authentication tokens and enforce token re-generation on every admin or elevated-privilege session initiation. Implement network-level access controls to restrict WebSocket connections to trusted administrative IP ranges and consider temporarily disabling real-time user connection telemetry in the YPTSocket plugin if operationally feasible. Additionally, audit audit logs for any admin-level WebSocket sessions from compromised or revoked accounts and assume any token issued prior to remediation as potentially compromised.
