|
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an attacker to hold an authenticated account on the target AVideo instance with the canStream permission granted. The canStream role is the specific authorization gate - users without it cannot reach the vulnerable code path. The attack is purely network-based against the PHP web endpoint and requires no special platform configuration beyond the default restreaming feature being in use by other users. What limits exploitation: access to a canStream account (legitimate or compromised), and the victim must have at least one active live_restreams_id record configured. Exploitation does not require admin privileges, prior knowledge of specific IDs (sequential enumeration suffices), or any victim interaction. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.6 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N) is well-calibrated for this finding: the attack requires authenticated access with the canStream role, which limits blast radius in strict user-provisioning environments but may be broadly granted on community or multi-tenant AVideo instances. The VC:H and VI:H ratings are defensible because exposure of a victim's platform stream key gives an attacker full read and write-equivalent control over their streaming presence. EPSS data was not included in the source intelligence; however, no public exploit code or CISA KEV entry exists at time of analysis, suggesting opportunistic mass exploitation has not yet materialized. Real-world risk is highest in multi-tenant deployments where canStream is granted to untrusted or competing users - even a mid-sized municipal media or education operator in opole should treat this as urgent if running a shared AVideo instance. The absence of an availability impact metric is accurate: the vulnerability does not crash or disable the platform, but the reputational and business-continuity consequences of stream hijacking on live broadcasts are disproportionate to the A:N rating alone. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers or gains canStream permission on a shared AVideo instance, then iterates live_restreams_id integer values in POST requests to resendRestreamer.json.php until a valid ID belonging to another user is encountered. The server, without validating ownership, begins broadcasting the attacker's live stream to the victim's configured YouTube or Twitch destination using the victim's private stream key, immediately displacing the victim's broadcast. No public exploit code is confirmed, but the attack requires only standard HTTP tooling and knowledge of the endpoint. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 08, 2026
Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in WWBN AVideo allows authenticated users holding the canStream permission to hijack third-party live restream destinations on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch by supplying arbitrary live_restreams_id values to resendRestreamer.json.php. The endpoint fails to verify that the requesting user owns the referenced restream configuration, exposing victim stream keys and allowing an attacker to broadcast their own content to victim-controlled channels. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at time of analysis, though the impact on streaming operators could be severe and immediately visible.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to update WWBN AVideo to any commit after c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 that includes the fix introduced in response to GHSA-7c8r-rj82-c8fv; a precise tagged release version was not identified in available source data, so operators should consult the GitHub advisory page directly at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-7c8r-rj82-c8fv to confirm the exact patched release. As a compensating control on unpatched instances, administrators can restrict the canStream permission to fully trusted users only, reducing the pool of accounts capable of reaching the vulnerable endpoint. Alternatively, network-level access controls on resendRestreamer.json.php (e.g., via web server ACLs or WAF rules requiring the requesting user-agent to match a known administrative session) can mitigate exploitation, though these controls require accurate session-tracking logic and are not a substitute for patching. Operators should also consider rotating all platform stream keys on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch for any accounts that shared an AVideo instance with untrusted canStream users.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WWBN AVideo is a self-hosted, PHP-based open-source video streaming platform supporting live restreaming to third-party platforms via configured credentials and stream keys. The affected endpoint, resendRestreamer.json.php, accepts a user-supplied live_restreams_id parameter and processes the associated restream configuration without performing an ownership check against the authenticated session. This is a textbook CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) - a subclass of IDOR where sequential or guessable integer IDs are accepted without access-control validation, granting access to peer resources belonging to other accounts. Affected versions span all commits through c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 per CPE cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*.

DescriptionCVE.org
WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 fails to validate ownership of live_restreams_id in resendRestreamer.json.php, allowing authenticated users with canStream to access other users' restream destinations. Attackers can broadcast their live stream to victim-configured restream destinations by supplying arbitrary live_restreams_id values, hijacking YouTube, Facebook, or Twitch streams using victim stream keys.

Executive ViewAI
Organizations operating WWBN AVideo for multi-platform livestreaming face a critical access control gap: authenticated users can redirect live streams to unauthorized destinations, potentially hijacking audience reach and exfiltrating broadcast credentials. The vulnerability exposes streaming operators to immediate reputational damage through channel impersonation on major social platforms, with no vendor patch currently available.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict canStream permission to trusted administrative users only; implement comprehensive audit logging for all calls to stream configuration endpoints including resendRestreamer.json.php; disable live-restream functionality to YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch if not business-critical; monitor for unauthorized changes to restream configurations; verify stream credentials on social platforms have not been compromised; enforce network segmentation to limit AVideo's outbound API connectivity to authorized streaming platforms only.
