Exploitation Conditions

The decisive prerequisite is prior possession of the victim's stored users.password hash value from the AVideo database - the bypass lets that raw hash be submitted directly to the login endpoints as if it were the password (via loginFromRequest() and encryptPasswordVerify()). This maps to the vendor's AT:P (Attack Requirements: Present): although the login endpoint itself needs no prior authentication (PR:N), the attacker cannot exploit this without first exfiltrating the hash through a separate vector (SQL injection, leaked/stolen database backup, insider access, or another breach). It affects WWBN AVideo through version 29.0 in default configuration once the hash is known; no user interaction is required. The limiting factor is therefore the difficulty of obtaining the stored hash - absent that, the flaw is not directly exploitable, which is why it functions as a privilege/compromise amplifier rather than an initial-access vulnerability.

Impact

This is a high-CVSS-4.0 (9.2) authentication bypass, but the real-world risk is materially lower than the headline score because exploitation is fundamentally a post-compromise, pass-the-hash primitive. The vendor CVSS 4.0 vector carries PR:N (no authentication to the login endpoint) yet also AT:P (Attack Requirements: Present), which is the key signal - the attacker must first obtain the stored users.password hash value before the bypass is usable. That prerequisite typically implies prior database access (SQL injection, backup leak, insider, or another breach), so the flaw amplifies an existing compromise into full account takeover rather than granting initial access on its own. No CISA KEV listing, no public exploit code, and no EPSS score are present in the provided data, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' - do not treat this as actively exploited. The signals are internally consistent (network vector, low complexity once the hash is held, high C/I/A because any account including admin can be assumed), but the AT:P/hash-prerequisite is the decisive limiter and should drive prioritization: patch promptly, but treat this as a defense-in-depth failure that matters most where a hash disclosure is plausible.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has already obtained the AVideo database (e.g., via a separate SQLi, leaked backup, or insider access) reads a target user's stored password hash from the users table and submits that raw hash directly to the login endpoint. Because loginFromRequest() and encryptPasswordVerify() both accept the stored hash as a valid credential, the attacker is authenticated as that user - including administrators - without ever knowing the plaintext password. No public proof-of-concept is identified in the provided sources.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 16, 2026

Authentication bypass in WWBN AVideo through 29.0 allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user by submitting the victim's stored password hash directly to the login endpoints, completely circumventing password verification. The flaw exists in two independent code paths (loginFromRequest() and encryptPasswordVerify()) and requires prior possession of the users.password hash value-obtained through a separate compromise such as SQL injection, a leaked database backup, or insider access-making it a post-compromise pass-the-hash primitive rather than an initial-access vulnerability. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 4.0 base score is 9.2; however, the real-world risk is materially lower due to the hash-exfiltration prerequisite.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch with a specific fix version is identified in the available intelligence; administrators should monitor the vendor advisory (GHSA-fq38-jp6c-q4cx) and the VulnCheck advisory for an update and apply it immediately upon release. Because exploitation requires the stored users.password hash, the most effective compensating controls focus on preventing hash exfiltration: harden database access controls, audit the application for SQL injection or other data-leak vulnerabilities, encrypt database backups, and restrict network access to the database to trusted hosts. Enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) on AVideo accounts would render a stolen hash insufficient for login, but MFA may not be natively supported and requires configuration and user enrollment. As an additional layer, limiting access to AVideo login endpoints to trusted IP ranges reduces exposure, though this reduces accessibility for legitimate remote users. Finally, if a breach is suspected, rotate all user password hashes and force password resets to invalidate any previously exfiltrated hashes.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is an instance of CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) in WWBN AVideo through version 29.0. The application's login logic in loginFromRequest() and encryptPasswordVerify() fails to distinguish between a plaintext password and the stored password hash, so when an attacker submits the hash value itself as the password, the comparison succeeds and authentication is granted. This bypasses the intended password verification step entirely. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) indicates a network-accessible, unauthenticated attack with high impact, but the AT:P (Attack Requirements: Present) reflects the decisive prerequisite: the attacker must already possess the victim's stored hash. Our independent assessment (CVSS 3.1 AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) scores the attack complexity as high because of that prerequisite. Consequently, the flaw functions as a privilege-escalation or lateral-movement enabler-once a hash is exfiltrated via a separate vector, it can be replayed to impersonate the user-rather than as a standalone initial-access vector. No CPE data was provided, but the vendor advisory GHSA-fq38-jp6c-q4cx confirms the affected version range.

DescriptionCVE.org

WWBN AVideo through 29.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability where the stored password hash is accepted as a valid login credential through two independent code paths in loginFromRequest() and encryptPasswordVerify(). Attackers who obtain the stored users.password hash value can authenticate as any user by submitting the hash directly to login endpoints, completely bypassing password verification.

Technical POC Analysis

The supplied advisory identifies CWE-287 Improper Authentication.

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 up to version 29.0 are exposed to a critical authentication bypass that can let an attacker who already holds a user's stored password hash impersonate that user, including administrators, without knowing the password. Because the flaw requires a separate data compromise to obtain the hash, it mainly escalates the impact of a prior breach rather than enabling initial access. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but leadership should prioritize this because successful exploitation can lead to full account takeover, unauthorized access to sensitive content, and potential lateral movement, and no vendor patch is currently available.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; interim mitigations include isolating AVideo behind VPN/IP allowlists, blocking login requests that contain password-hash patterns via WAF, rotating all user passwords and stored hashes, enforcing MFA where possible, restricting database and backup access, and monitoring authentication and database logs for pass-the-hash activity.
