| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session on the target AVideo instance - a low-privilege user account is sufficient, with no administrator or moderator role needed (CVSS PR:L). The vulnerable endpoints Users_affiliations add.json.php and videoAddNew.json.php must be reachable over the network. The affiliation feature must be present in the running codebase, which it is by default in versions through commit 9c39d8c8b4c1f75540788d6b391740852ceb0732 - no non-default configuration is required to expose the flaw. Exploitation is limited to integrity impact within the AVideo application: video ownership records can be manipulated, but the flaw does not provide file system access, remote code execution, or privilege escalation to OS level. User interaction from the victim is not required. |
| Impact | The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N) yields a score of 7.1 and accurately characterizes the attack surface: the vulnerable endpoints are network-reachable, exploitation is low-complexity, and only a low-privilege authenticated account is required. Real-world impact is bounded by the application's function - video ownership manipulation is a meaningful integrity violation within AVideo but carries no confidentiality or availability component, and does not provide code execution or OS-level access. EPSS data was not provided in the source intelligence, so quantitative exploitation probability cannot be anchored; the absence of a KEV listing and POC code modestly reduces urgency relative to the raw score. That said, the minimal privilege barrier and straightforward parameter-manipulation technique mean any registered user on a vulnerable instance can exploit this without specialized tooling. The CVSS vector's integrity-only impact profile is consistent with the description - no conflicting signals were identified. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated low-privilege user sends a crafted POST request to Users_affiliations add.json.php, supplying the target content owner's user ID as the counterparty and fabricating a plausible current timestamp for that party's consent. The server records the affiliation with status='a' without contacting or verifying the second party. The attacker then calls videoAddNew.json.php referencing the forged affiliation ID, which the endpoint accepts as a valid authorization term, reassigning ownership of the victim's videos to the attacker's account or to any arbitrary user on the platform. |

Authorization bypass in WWBN AVideo through commit 9c39d8c8b4c1f75540788d6b391740852ceb0732 allows any authenticated user to forge two-party affiliation consent records and subsequently hijack video ownership of arbitrary content on the platform. The Users_affiliations add.json.php endpoint accepts attacker-controlled counterparty agreement timestamps without verification, enabling creation of forged affiliation records with approved status that are then unconditionally trusted by the videoAddNew.json.php ownership-transfer endpoint. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; however, only a low-privilege account is required, making this accessible to any registered user on a vulnerable instance.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to a version of WWBN AVideo that incorporates the fix referenced in GHSA-rg7g-cgjq-4wx8; review the advisory at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-rg7g-cgjq-4wx8 for the specific remediated commit or tagged release, as no exact patch version is independently confirmed in the available intelligence. As a compensating control while awaiting a patch, restrict access to Users_affiliations add.json.php and videoAddNew.json.php at the web server or reverse proxy layer to trusted IP ranges or administrative roles only - note this will disable legitimate affiliation and video-ownership-transfer workflows for affected users. Alternatively, if the affiliation feature is not actively used, disable it at the application configuration level. Operators should also audit existing affiliation records for unexpected entries with status='a' that may indicate prior exploitation, particularly for records where the recorded counterparty timestamp predates the counterparty's account activity.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WWBN AVideo (cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a self-hosted, open-source PHP video platform. CWE-345 (Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity) describes the root cause: the add.json.php endpoint within the Users_affiliations module accepts a client-supplied timestamp representing the counterparty's consent without cryptographic verification, server-side confirmation, or out-of-band notification to that party. This allows an attacker to fabricate a bilateral agreement the second party never authorized, recording it with status='a' (approved). The videoAddNew.json.php endpoint then uses this affiliation record as an authorization gate for video ownership transfers without re-validating its authenticity. The two-endpoint chain reflects a broken object-level authorization pattern compounded by client-controlled integrity data - a known anti-pattern in PHP web applications where trust decisions are delegated to user-supplied parameters.

DescriptionCVE.org
WWBN AVideo through commit 9c39d8c8b4c1f75540788d6b391740852ceb0732 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the Users_affiliations add.json.php endpoint that allows authenticated users to forge two-party consent records by supplying the counterparty's agreement timestamp. Attackers can create a forged affiliation with status='a' and then reassign video ownership to arbitrary users through the videoAddNew.json.php endpoint, which trusts the forged affiliation as an authorization term.
Executive ViewAI
WWBN AVideo contains an authorization bypass (CVE-2026-58002) allowing registered users to hijack ownership of videos through forged affiliation records, compromising content integrity across affected instances. This vulnerability poses direct risk to organizations relying on AVideo for secure content management, enabling internal users to take control of arbitrary video assets without detection. With no current vendor patch available and authentication-based exploitation accessible to any platform user, immediate compensating controls are critical to prevent content abuse.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict WWBN AVideo user registration to pre-approved internal accounts only; (2) Implement API authentication and authorization controls requiring administrative privileges for Users_affiliations add.json.php and videoAddNew.json.php endpoints; (3) Enable and monitor audit logging for all affiliation record creation and video ownership transfer events; (4) Apply network segmentation to restrict AVideo instance access to authorized personnel; (5) Disable or restrict video ownership transfer functionality to administrative users only if operationally feasible; (6) Conduct monthly audits of video ownership chains to detect unauthorized transfers.
