Exploitation Conditions

WWBN AVideo versions 26.0 and prior with Live plugin enabled. Attacker must enumerate active stream keys from unauthenticated stats.json.php endpoint, then send POST requests to on_publish_done.php. No authentication required. Remote unauthenticated exploitation.

Impact

Real-world risk is significant for organizations running WWBN AVideo for live streaming services. The CVSS 7.5 High severity reflects the severe availability impact (A:H) combined with trivial exploitation requirements: network-accessible (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and no user interaction needed (UI:N). While the vulnerability is limited to availability impact (C:N/I:N), the ability to terminate any live stream represents a critical business disruption for platforms relying on this functionality. No EPSS exploitation probability data is available, and no public exploit code exists at time of analysis. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed active exploitation in the wild. However, exploitation is trivially automatable given the straightforward HTTP POST attack vector and public endpoint exposure. The primary exploitation barrier is that attackers must first enumerate valid stream keys from the unauthenticated stats endpoint, though this is a minor obstacle. The absence of vendor patches at publication time significantly elevates operational risk, as affected organizations have no official remediation path beyond custom code modifications or service discontinuation.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker first accesses the unauthenticated stats.json.php endpoint on a target AVideo platform to enumerate all currently active live streams and their associated stream keys. Using this information, the attacker crafts HTTP POST requests to the on_publish_done.php endpoint, including the enumerated stream keys as parameters to mimic legitimate RTMP server callbacks. The endpoint processes these malicious requests without authentication, immediately marking the targeted streams as finished in the database and terminating the live broadcasts. This attack can be automated to continuously target all active streams, effectively disabling all live streaming capability on the platform and causing significant service disruption for content creators and viewers. No public exploit code exists, but exploitation requires only basic HTTP request tools and knowledge of the vulnerable endpoint structure.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 31, 2026

Unauthenticated attackers can remotely terminate any active live stream in WWBN AVideo 26.0 and prior by sending crafted POST requests to the on_publish_done.php endpoint in the Live plugin. The vulnerability combines two weaknesses: an unauthenticated stats.json.php endpoint that exposes active stream keys, and the on_publish_done.php RTMP callback handler that processes stream termination requests without authentication or authorization checks. This enables complete denial-of-service against all platform live streaming functionality. CVSS 7.5 (High) with network attack vector, low complexity, and no privileges required. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; EPSS data not available.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis per the GitHub Security Advisory (https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-4jcg-jxpf-5vq3). Organizations should implement immediate compensating controls: add authentication and authorization checks to the on_publish_done.php endpoint to verify that callback requests originate from legitimate RTMP servers (validate source IP addresses against known streaming server IPs, implement shared secret token authentication). Restrict access to stats.json.php to authenticated users only to prevent stream key enumeration. Consider implementing rate limiting and request validation on both endpoints. Network-level controls should include firewall rules limiting access to the Live plugin endpoints to trusted networks only. Organizations should monitor the GitHub advisory and WWBN AVideo repository for official patches, and implement web application firewall rules to block unauthorized POST requests to on_publish_done.php in the interim. Given the critical nature of live streaming functionality, organizations may need to evaluate alternative video platforms if patches are not released promptly.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability affects the WWBN AVideo open source video platform's Live plugin, specifically RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) callback handling infrastructure. The on_publish_done.php endpoint is designed to receive callbacks from RTMP servers when broadcasts end, updating the database to mark streams as finished. The root cause is CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function), where the callback handler trusts incoming requests without verifying their origin or authenticating the sender. The vulnerability is compounded by an information disclosure issue in stats.json.php, which exposes active stream keys to unauthenticated users, providing attackers with the enumeration capability needed to identify valid targets. The attack surface is exposed through standard HTTP POST requests to a PHP endpoint, requiring no specialized RTMP protocol knowledge to exploit once stream keys are enumerated.

DescriptionCVE.org

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 26.0 and prior, the AVideo on_publish_done.php endpoint in the Live plugin allows unauthenticated users to terminate any active live stream. The endpoint processes RTMP callback events to mark streams as finished in the database, but performs no authentication or authorization checks before doing so. An attacker can enumerate active stream keys from the unauthenticated stats.json.php endpoint, then send crafted POST requests to on_publish_done.php to terminate any live broadcast. This enables denial-of-service against all live streaming functionality on the platform. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2026-34731 allows unauthenticated attackers to remotely disable all live streaming on WWBN AVideo 26.0 and earlier through unsecured API endpoints, creating a complete denial-of-service risk for any organization relying on platform live broadcast capabilities. This vulnerability requires no authentication, can be exploited with minimal technical effort, and directly impacts business continuity for content delivery and audience engagement.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict HTTP access to /stats.json.php and /on_publish_done.php endpoints via firewall, WAF, or reverse proxy to authorized IP ranges only; (2) Implement network segmentation isolating RTMP publish endpoints from untrusted networks; (3) Deploy real-time monitoring and alerting on unexpected stream termination requests; (4) Require manual authentication token validation before processing stream lifecycle events via custom application code; (5) Maintain offline backup streaming capability or secondary platform for business-critical broadcasts.
