Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions are required beyond network access to the login.json.php endpoint - exploitation is unauthenticated (PR:N) and requires no user interaction (UI:N). The attacker must be able to reach the AVideo web server over the network and send a POST request to login.json.php; no account, session token, or prior knowledge of the application is needed. Exploitation is limited by: (1) the SSRF result being parsed as login credentials rather than returned verbatim, which may obscure some file content depending on parsing logic; (2) server-side egress firewall rules, if present, that block outbound connections to internal ranges; and (3) the specific PHP file-handling configuration of the server, which determines which URI schemes (file://, http://, etc.) are permitted.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 reflects a medium-severity assessment with network-accessible unauthenticated exploitation (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) but limited confidentiality and integrity impact (VC:L/VI:L/VA:N), consistent with an SSRF that leaks file content rather than achieving direct code execution. The secondary impact on subsequent systems (SC:L/SI:L) acknowledges the internal-service pivot potential. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing indicate no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis, and EPSS data is absent from the input. Despite the moderate score, even a mid-sized municipal IT team in walbrzych should treat this as urgent if AVideo instances are internet-facing, because unauthenticated pre-auth SSRF affecting a login endpoint can expose sensitive configuration files (e.g., database credentials in config.php) and enable internal network reconnaissance with zero barriers to entry. The credential-parsing behavior of the fetched response introduces an unconventional escalation path that the base CVSS score likely understates.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted POST request to the publicly accessible login.json.php endpoint with a file path such as /var/www/html/plugin/settings/conf.php as the URL parameter. The server fetches the local file via _json_decode, parses its contents as login credentials, and the attacker observes error responses or timing differences to infer file content, potentially recovering database credentials. The attacker then pivots to submit an internal HTTP URL (e.g., targeting an internal admin API at 192.168.1.1) to probe services not otherwise reachable from the internet.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 11, 2026

Server-side request forgery in WWBN AVideo's login endpoint enables unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary local files or probe internal services by supplying crafted file paths or HTTP URLs to login.json.php. The vulnerability resides in the _json_decode function, which fetches attacker-supplied URLs and local paths without SSRF validation; the fetched content is then parsed as login credentials, creating an unusual secondary attack surface for potential authentication bypass against internal services that return predictable responses. Affected versions span all releases through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1, with no public exploit code identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to an AVideo release incorporating the fix committed after c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1; consult the GitHub security advisory GHSA-wqwf-wmvx-53jh for the exact patched commit or tagged release. No independently confirmed patched version number is available from the provided data - track the repository's release notes directly. Where immediate patching is not feasible, restrict access to login.json.php at the web server or WAF layer to trusted IP ranges, which eliminates the unauthenticated network attack vector entirely. Additionally, configure server-side network egress controls (e.g., outbound firewall rules) to block the application process from initiating connections to link-local and RFC-1918 addresses, limiting the internal-pivot impact of the SSRF. Both compensating controls reduce risk but do not eliminate the vulnerability if the application is accessed from permitted networks.

Technical ContextAI · show details

AVideo is a PHP-based open-source video platform (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The root cause is CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery): the _json_decode function in login.json.php accepts user-supplied input and uses it to initiate server-side HTTP requests or local file reads without an allowlist or blocklist for permitted URLs/paths. PHP's file handling functions (e.g., file_get_contents) typically support both HTTP schemes and file:// URIs, enabling dual-vector exploitation. A distinctive implementation detail is that the retrieved content is subsequently parsed as login credentials, meaning the SSRF result is interpreted structurally - an attacker who can make the server reach an internal service that returns JSON-formatted or credential-like content could potentially influence authentication logic.
