| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an active authenticated session on the AVideo platform - a free user account is sufficient (CVSS PR:L). The AD_Server plugin must be installed and active, and YPTWallet-linked campaign videos must exist on the platform. The attacker must be able to reach plugin/AD_Server/log.php over the network (CVSS AV:N). No elevated privileges, administrative access, or non-default configuration beyond AD_Server plugin activation is required. Exploitation is limited to integrity fraud within the platform's ad economy; it does not expose credentials, system files, or enable code execution. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N) is consistent with the description: low-complexity network exploitation by any authenticated user with high integrity impact and no confidentiality or availability consequences. The vulnerability is limited to financial integrity within the AVideo ecosystem - specifically YPTWallet balances - rather than system compromise or data exfiltration. Real-world risk is meaningful for platforms relying on AVideo's ad revenue model, as the fraud is scalable and fully automatable via scripted POST requests. However, the blast radius is confined to platforms actively using the AD_Server plugin with YPTWallet-linked campaigns. No EPSS score, KEV status, or public exploit code is present in the available data. The GitHub Security Advisory (GHSA-cwrf-q9jv-44px) provides vendor acknowledgment, lending credibility to the report. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers a free account on an AVideo instance running the AD_Server plugin, then scripted HTTP POST requests targeting plugin/AD_Server/log.php with the parameter label=start are sent in rapid succession, each crediting the attacker's campaign video owner wallet without any ad being displayed. Because the endpoint performs no rate limiting or delivery verification, thousands of fake impressions can be submitted in minutes, minting arbitrary YPTWallet balance for any targeted campaign owner. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 11, 2026
Unrestricted wallet-credit minting in AVideo's AD_Server plugin allows any authenticated user to fraudulently inflate YPTWallet balances for campaign video owners without proof of ad delivery. The flaw resides in plugin/AD_Server/log.php, which accepts arbitrary label values - including label=start - via POST requests and credits the associated campaign wallet unconditionally. Repeated exploitation constitutes ad fraud, enabling attackers to generate synthetic platform currency at will. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Upgrade AVideo to a commit beyond c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 as directed by the vendor advisory at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-cwrf-q9jv-44px - no specific tagged release version is confirmed in the available data, so monitor the GitHub repository for a patched release. As a compensating control pending upgrade, restrict access to plugin/AD_Server/log.php at the web server level (e.g., via nginx location block or Apache .htaccess) to prevent unauthenticated and automated POST requests. Additionally, implement server-side rate limiting on the log.php endpoint per session or user account to reduce the economic impact of fraudulent submissions. Note that rate limiting alone does not fix the root cause: server-side ad delivery verification must be implemented to fully remediate CWE-345.

Technical ContextAI · show details
AVideo (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo) is a PHP-based open-source video platform with a built-in ad monetization subsystem. The AD_Server plugin handles ad impression logging via log.php and is expected to validate that specific events (e.g., label=start indicating an ad began playing) correspond to legitimate ad delivery before crediting the campaign video owner's YPTWallet. CWE-345 (Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity) characterizes the root cause: the application accepts client-supplied label values as authoritative proof of an ad impression without any server-side verification (e.g., session binding, nonce validation, or rate limiting tied to actual ad playback state). This allows the credit-issuance logic to be driven entirely by attacker-controlled input.

DescriptionCVE.org
AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 fails to validate ad impressions in plugin/AD_Server/log.php, allowing logged-in users to submit arbitrary label values that trigger unverified wallet credits to campaign video owners. Attackers can repeatedly POST label=start requests to mint YPTWallet balance for any campaign video without proof an ad actually played.

Executive ViewAI
WWBN AVideo's AD_Server plugin contains a wallet-credit minting vulnerability enabling authenticated users to fraudulently generate YPTWallet balances without proof of ad delivery, directly undermining ad campaign economics and platform revenue integrity. Any authenticated user with plugin access can exploit this repeatedly to create synthetic platform currency, effectively stealing value from advertisers and legitimate campaign owners. Immediate access restrictions and transaction controls are critical to prevent ongoing financial fraud.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict AD_Server plugin access to trusted administrators only via firewall/IAM controls; (2) Require documented proof-of-delivery verification before any wallet credit transaction; (3) Implement real-time alerts on wallet minting requests and block repeated requests within short time windows; (4) Audit all YPTWallet transactions from the plugin for amounts inconsistent with documented ad campaigns; (5) Require two-factor approval for all wallet credit transactions above defined threshold; (6) Maintain detailed transaction logs with IP/account/timestamp for forensic analysis.
