The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

The AVideo instance must be reachable over the network (typical for any internet-facing or LAN-deployed AVideo server). The attacker must supply a stream key corresponding to an existing recorded FLV file in the temporary directory - obtainable by observing stream URLs during legitimate sessions, leakage through other unauthenticated endpoints, or enumeration if keys are predictable. No authentication, session token, or user account is required to invoke the vulnerability. Exploitation is limited to reading recorded FLV video files from the temporary recording directory; it does not provide write access, code execution, or access to files outside that directory. The vulnerability does not require any special server configuration beyond a default AVideo deployment that has recorded at least one live stream.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H) and score of 8.7 accurately capture the network-exposed, zero-authentication nature of the flaw, with high confidentiality impact limited to the vulnerable system and no integrity or availability dimension. The primary friction is stream key knowledge - if keys are randomly generated UUIDs, practical exploitability is lower than the AC:L rating implies; if keys are sequential, short, or derived from predictable metadata (timestamp, username), enumeration becomes trivial. EPSS data is absent from the available intelligence, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting no confirmed mass exploitation at time of analysis; even a mid-sized municipal IT team in gniezno should treat this as urgent patching work rather than an emergency incident response, given the data-exposure rather than full-compromise impact. No public exploit or POC is identified. Overall, real-world priority depends heavily on stream key predictability and whether the AVideo instance hosts sensitive or regulated content.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker discovers a publicly accessible AVideo instance, then queries getRecordedFile.php with stream keys obtained from a prior unauthenticated API call, leaked URL, or brute-forced short key space. The endpoint returns the raw FLV recording without any session check, allowing the attacker to download private live-stream recordings. No public POC is confirmed, but the endpoint mechanism requires no special tooling beyond a standard HTTP client.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 11, 2026

Unauthenticated file read in WWBN AVideo's getRecordedFile.php endpoint exposes recorded live-stream FLV files to any network attacker without authentication or authorization. All AVideo deployments through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 are affected. An attacker who can reach the web interface and supply a known or guessed stream key can silently download private recorded video content, with no public exploit or KEV status confirmed at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Apply the patch referenced in the vendor's GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-crcx-7mx7-jqfr (https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-crcx-7mx7-jqfr); the exact fixed commit or release tag should be confirmed from that advisory before deploying. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict access to getRecordedFile.php at the web server or WAF layer (e.g., deny all requests to the path unless originating from authenticated sessions enforced by an upstream reverse proxy) - note this workaround may break legitimate playback flows for authorized users. Additionally, moving recorded FLV files out of any web-accessible temporary directory and behind a server-side auth gate would eliminate the exposure path. Rotating or randomizing stream keys using a cryptographically secure generator reduces the guessability risk in the interim.

Technical ContextAI · show details

AVideo (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is an open-source PHP-based self-hosted video streaming and management platform maintained by WWBN. The vulnerable endpoint, getRecordedFile.php, streams FLV recording files from a server-side temporary directory and uses a stream key as the file identifier. CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function) is the root cause: the endpoint performs no session validation, token check, or access control gate before serving file content. Because the stream key doubles as the only file selector and access credential, any party who can enumerate or predict it can retrieve the recording. VulnCheck identified the issue and reported it to the vendor via GitHub's security advisory process.

DescriptionCVE.org

WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains an unauthenticated file read vulnerability in the getRecordedFile.php endpoint that streams recorded FLV files from the temporary directory. Attackers can request the endpoint with a known or guessed stream key to download recorded live video files without authentication or authorization checks.

Technical POC Analysis

CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function), with a secondary CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) mapping per the advisory.

Full technical POC analysis - root cause, step-by-step exploitation and patch breakdown - is part of the Pro and Business plans.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

WWBN AVideo deployments expose all recorded live-stream video files to unauthenticated network access, allowing any attacker to download private video content without credentials. This confidentiality breach affects organizations using AVideo for recording sensitive or confidential live streams and creates potential regulatory exposure under data protection requirements. The vulnerability requires no authentication, making it exploitable by any network-connected attacker with knowledge of stream keys.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Network-layer access restrictions (firewall rules limiting getRecordedFile.php to authenticated users only); WAF rules blocking requests lacking valid authentication tokens; application-level access control enforcement via reverse proxy; detailed audit logging and alerting on file-access attempts; regular review of access logs for unauthorized downloads.
