MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the victim to be an authenticated AVideo user with an active logged-in session who is then lured into loading an attacker-controlled page carrying an auto-submitting form. The specific trigger is the legacy, non-.json.php endpoints (explicitly playlistStatus.php and similar video/playlist endpoints) that are NOT covered by the .json.php-only autoCSRFGuard() CSRF token check - endpoints protected by autoCSRFGuard() are not vulnerable. Limiting factors that reduce real-world risk: the attacker cannot act without a logged-in victim (no standalone unauthenticated server compromise), user interaction is required (the victim must visit the malicious page), and only AVideo instances running versions before 24.0 are affected. Impact is confined to the victim's own playlist/suggestion state rather than full account or server takeover. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but modest-severity issue, best treated as a routine patch rather than an emergency. The vendor CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N) yields 5.1 (Medium), and the signals are internally consistent for a classic CSRF (CWE-352): network-reachable, low complexity, but requiring a logged-in victim (PR:L in 4.0 reflecting the victim's authenticated session) and passive user interaction (UI:P - visiting a malicious page). Impact is limited to low integrity (VI:L) with no confidentiality or availability impact scored, matching the described actions (toggling playlist visibility, removing playlist videos, forging suggestions). No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation - this is not a drop-everything priority. One nuance worth flagging: the description's 'make private playlists public' action has a confidentiality dimension that the vendor vector scores as VC:N, so the real-world privacy impact may be marginally understated versus the pure integrity scoring. Overall: patch in normal cycle; low real-world risk driven by the need for a logged-in victim and user interaction. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a web page containing a hidden auto-submitting HTML form targeting a legacy AVideo endpoint such as playlistStatus.php and lures a currently logged-in AVideo user to visit it (e.g., via a link in chat, email, or a forum post). When the page loads, the browser silently submits the forged request using the victim's session cookies, flipping a private playlist to public, deleting videos from a playlist, or injecting forged video suggestions. No public exploit was identified in the input, but the technique is trivial given the described autoCSRFGuard() bypass. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in WWBN AVideo before 24.0 allows an attacker to make a logged-in user's private playlists public, remove playlist videos, or forge video suggestions by luring the victim to an attacker-controlled page with an auto-submitting form. The flaw exists in legacy endpoints such as playlistStatus.php that are not covered by the application's .json.php-only autoCSRFGuard() token check. Exploitation requires an active authenticated AVideo session and user interaction, and no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis; impact is limited to the victim's playlist and suggestion state rather than server or account takeover.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to AVideo 24.0 or later; vendor-released patch: 24.0. The vendor advisory at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-9pf9-6jr6-fvjr and the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/wwbn-avideo-before-24.0-csrf-via-legacy-playlist-and-video-endpoints should be reviewed before deployment. If immediate upgrade is not possible, compensate by having a reverse proxy block cross-site state-changing requests to legacy non-.json.php endpoints such as playlistStatus.php unless they carry a valid CSRF token or a same-origin Origin/Referer header; this can break playlist-management flows in the older UI, so test carefully. Setting session cookies to SameSite=Lax or Strict also reduces cross-site form submission but may interfere with cross-site embedded or integration flows. Applying CSRF checks to all state-changing endpoints, rather than only .json.php routes, addresses the root cause; no public exploit was identified, so emergency workarounds are not required beyond normal patch prioritization.

Technical ContextAI · show details
AVideo is a PHP-based video platform, and this issue is a classic CWE-352 cross-site request forgery: the server accepts state-changing requests that are authenticated solely by the victim's ambient session cookie, without requiring an anti-CSRF token or validating request origin on all endpoints. The application's autoCSRFGuard() protection is applied only to .json.php routes, so legacy endpoints such as playlistStatus.php and similar playlist/video handlers remain reachable by cross-site form submissions. An attacker page can therefore submit forged requests in the victim's browser to alter playlist visibility, delete playlist videos, or create video suggestions. The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies AVideo as the affected product, while the vendor advisory narrows the vulnerable range to versions before 24.0.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
WWBN AVideo before 24.0 contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in legacy endpoints like playlistStatus.php that bypass the .json.php-only autoCSRFGuard() check. Attackers can lure logged-in users to a page with an auto-submitting form to make private playlists public, remove playlist videos, or forge video suggestions.
