Impact

This vulnerability presents moderate real-world risk with significant contextual factors. The CVSS 6.5 score reflects medium severity (integrity impact: high, no confidentiality/availability loss), and the attack vector is network with low complexity and no privilege requirements - however, the critical UI:R (user interaction required) component means an admin must visit an attacker's webpage. EPSS exploitation probability is not provided in input data, limiting quantitative risk modeling. KEV status is not indicated, suggesting no confirmed active exploitation at publication. However, exploitation is highly probable because: (1) no technical barrier exists once an admin lands on a malicious page (the browser automatically includes the SameSite=None cookie), (2) POC is implicitly trivial (a simple HTML form with cross-origin POST), and (3) the impact is organization-wide (reaching all users). The remediation lag is critical - absence of a released patch at publication time increases risk. SSVC decision framework would classify this as Attend (not Defer): exploitation is unforced and automatable, technical impact is mission-impacting (reputation damage, trust violation), and patching is delayed. Real-world priority is elevated because email compromise is a common attack vector for initial access and credential harvesting in targeted campaigns.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker creates a malicious webpage (e.g., a forum post, fake software download site, or phishing email to admins) containing a hidden HTML form that POSTs to the target AVideo instance's emailAllUsers.json.php endpoint with parameters specifying spam or phishing email content. When an AVideo administrator visits the attacker's page, the browser automatically includes the admin's SameSite=None session cookie in the cross-origin request. The application processes the request as a valid admin action (no CSRF token check), and the email is sent to all registered users from the platform's legitimate SMTP address. The attack requires no technical sophistication beyond HTML/JavaScript and succeeds through social engineering to lure an admin to the malicious page.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 31, 2026

CSRF vulnerability in WWBN AVideo 26.0 and prior allows unauthenticated attackers to send arbitrary HTML emails to all platform users by luring administrators to a malicious webpage. The vulnerability exploits absent CSRF token validation on the emailAllUsers.json.php endpoint combined with SameSite=None session cookie configuration, enabling cross-origin POST requests to execute with the admin's session credentials. An attacker can impersonate the platform's legitimate SMTP sender to distribute phishing emails, spam, or malware links to the entire user base without any authentication requirement beyond initial admin compromise via social engineering.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. The GHSA advisory at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-c4xj-x7p8-3x7q provides the official disclosure. Immediate workarounds pending an upstream fix include: (1) disable or restrict network access to the objects/emailAllUsers.json.php endpoint via web server configuration (nginx/Apache) or application-level routing, (2) implement CSRF token validation in the application code by regenerating and verifying a unique token on every email broadcast request, (3) change session cookie configuration from SameSite=None to SameSite=Strict or SameSite=Lax to prevent cross-origin cookie inclusion, and (4) educate administrators against visiting untrusted links and consider restricting email broadcast functionality to internal-only network access. Monitor the official GitHub repository for patched releases.

Technical ContextAI · show details

WWBN AVideo is a PHP-based open-source video platform that manages user accounts, sessions, and email distribution through REST API endpoints. The vulnerable endpoint objects/emailAllUsers.json.php is designed to allow administrators to broadcast emails to all registered users. The application relies on session cookies (with SameSite=None attribute) for authentication but fails to implement Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) token validation on this high-impact administrative function. CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery) identifies the root cause: the endpoint trusts requests based solely on authenticated session presence without verifying a cryptographic token generated per-request. The SameSite=None configuration explicitly permits the browser to include session cookies in cross-origin POST requests, eliminating the browser's default CSRF mitigation. This is typical in legacy PHP applications that predate modern CSRF defense practices.

DescriptionCVE.org

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 26.0 and prior, the AVideo endpoint objects/emailAllUsers.json.php allows administrators to send HTML emails to every registered user on the platform. While the endpoint verifies admin session status, it does not validate a CSRF token. Because AVideo sets SameSite=None on session cookies, a cross-origin POST request from an attacker-controlled page will include the admin's session cookie automatically. An attacker who lures an admin to a malicious page can send an arbitrary HTML email to every user on the platform, appearing to originate from the instance's legitimate SMTP address. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.
