Exploitation Conditions

WWBN AVideo versions 25.0 and below deployed using official Docker files (docker-compose.yml, env.example) without overriding the SYSTEM_ADMIN_PASSWORD environment variable. Attacker performs unauthenticated remote login with default credentials admin:password. No victim interaction required.

Impact

The CVSS score of 8.1 (High) reflects network-based exploitation with high attack complexity, no privileges required, and high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The 'AC:H' (High Complexity) designation likely accounts for the requirement that operators must fail to change defaults, though this is common in quick-start, demo, and automated deployment scenarios. Real-world risk is substantial for internet-facing instances deployed using official Docker files without configuration review, particularly in development, staging, or proof-of-concept environments where security hardening is often deferred. The combination of administrative access, RCE potential via file uploads, and the prevalence of default-credential scanning in automated attack campaigns creates a realistic exploitation pathway. While no EPSS score or KEV status is provided, the straightforward nature of default credential exploitation, combined with publicly documented fix commits (2075fac1a51f21fab5d8592235a095aa354a9de6) that reveal the vulnerability details, increases discoverability for threat actors. Organizations using Docker-based AVideo deployments should prioritize this as a critical remediation item.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker performs reconnaissance scanning for internet-facing AVideo instances, identifying them by HTTP response signatures or login page characteristics. Upon discovering the login interface, the attacker attempts authentication using the default credentials 'admin:password', gaining immediate administrative access to instances deployed without credential customization. With administrative privileges, the attacker uploads a malicious PHP web shell disguised as a video file or plugin, enabling remote code execution on the underlying Docker container and potential lateral movement to connected infrastructure or exfiltration of user data and stored video content.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 20, 2026

WWBN AVideo open source video platform versions 25.0 and below ship with a hardcoded default administrator password ('password') in official Docker deployment files that is automatically used during installation without any forced change mechanism. Attackers can gain immediate administrative access to unpatched instances, enabling user data exposure, content manipulation, and potential remote code execution via file upload and plugin management features. The issue is compounded by weak MD5 password hashing and similarly insecure default database credentials (avideo/avideo).

RemediationAI

Upgrade WWBN AVideo to version 26.0 or later, which addresses the insecure default credential issue as documented in GitHub commit 2075fac1a51f21fab5d8592235a095aa354a9de6 and security advisory GHSA-89rv-p523-6wg9 (https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-89rv-p523-6wg9). For existing deployments that cannot be immediately upgraded, immediately change the administrator password through the application interface to a strong, unique credential and rotate database credentials from the default 'avideo/avideo' combination. Review all Docker environment files to ensure SYSTEM_ADMIN_PASSWORD is set to a secure value before any new deployments. Implement network segmentation to restrict administrative interface access to trusted IP ranges and consider placing the application behind a web application firewall with brute-force protection. Organizations should audit all existing AVideo instances deployed via Docker to verify that default credentials were changed post-installation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-1188 (Insecure Default Initialization of Resource), specifically relating to hardcoded credentials in infrastructure-as-code deployment files. The WWBN AVideo platform uses Docker Compose for deployment orchestration, with environment configuration templates (docker-compose.yml and env.example) containing the SYSTEM_ADMIN_PASSWORD parameter preset to 'password'. During automated installation, this value seeds the administrative account without validation, complexity enforcement, or post-installation password change requirements. The authentication mechanism relies on MD5 hashing, a cryptographically broken algorithm vulnerable to collision attacks and rainbow table lookups, further degrading the security posture even if passwords were changed post-deployment.

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 25.0 and below, the official Docker deployment files (docker-compose.yml, env.example) ship with the admin password set to "password", which is automatically used to seed the admin account during installation, meaning any instance deployed without overriding SYSTEM_ADMIN_PASSWORD is immediately vulnerable to trivial administrative takeover. No compensating controls exist: there is no forced password change on first login, no complexity validation, no default-password detection, and the password is hashed with weak MD5. Full admin access enables user data exposure, content manipulation, and potential remote code execution via file uploads and plugin management. The same insecure-default pattern extends to database credentials (avideo/avideo), compounding the risk. Exploitation depends on operators failing to change the default, a condition likely met in quick-start, demo, and automated deployments. This issue has been fixed in version 26.0.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

WWBN AVideo versions 25.0 and below contain hardcoded default administrator credentials ('password') in Docker deployments that grant immediate full administrative access without forced change during installation. Organizations running affected versions face direct risk of unauthorized access, data breach, and potential remote code execution through administrative file upload and plugin capabilities.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not possible: (1) Change default admin password immediately after installation before any network exposure; (2) Modify default database credentials from 'avideo/avideo' to strong randomly-generated values; (3) Restrict administrative interface access to specific IP ranges and require VPN for all administrative connections; (4) Disable file upload and plugin management features in application configuration if not operationally required; (5) Implement continuous monitoring of administrative login attempts and file uploads.

Attack Technique

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
