| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.4 reflects moderate severity with network accessibility (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), and requirement for low privileges (PR:L). The vector correctly identifies limited scope (S:U) and absence of integrity/availability impact, focusing on confidentiality loss (C:L, I:L, A:N). However, real-world risk is elevated beyond the CVSS numeric score due to several factors: (1) the vulnerability affects admin tokens specifically, which provide comprehensive surveillance access to all online user sessions; (2) token compromise is post-authentication but enables indefinite unauthorized access after legitimate session termination; (3) attack complexity is minimal once a token is obtained through social engineering, credential compromise, or insider access; (4) there is no temporal decay or forced re-authentication mechanism to limit exposure window. EPSS exploitation probability data is not provided, but the straightforward nature of token reuse (no cryptographic validation required) suggests high automatable exploitation potential. This should be prioritized above the baseline CVSS score suggests, particularly for multi-tenant deployments or those handling sensitive video content. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated user with legitimate AVideo access obtains an admin-level WebSocket token during normal platform interaction. The attacker captures this token through network traffic inspection, local session storage access, or memory dumping. After the user's admin account is revoked (e.g., due to employee termination), the attacker reuses the captured token to reconnect to the WebSocket service, bypassing all post-revocation authentication checks. The token validation fails to check expiration times, allowing the attacker to regain real-time visibility into all active user sessions, including IP addresses, browser information, and content being accessed-all without re-authentication or detection by standard session management controls. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 27, 2026
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.
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.

Technical ContextAI · show details
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.

DescriptionCVE.org
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.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using versions should be aware of moderate risk from CVE-2026-34362 rated CVSS 5.4. Exploitation could compromise the security of affected deployments. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.
Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: restrict network access and enable monitoring.
