MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Defense Evasion, Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Remote unauthenticated attacker exploits the standalone live stream control endpoint at plugin/Live/standAloneFiles/control.json.php in WWBN AVideo versions up to 26.0 by supplying a malicious streamerURL parameter to redirect token verification requests to an attacker-controlled server, requiring no victim interaction. |
| Impact | This represents a critical real-world risk requiring immediate attention. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:H indicates network-accessible exploitation with low complexity requiring no privileges or user interaction, resulting in high integrity and availability impact. The vulnerability is trivially exploitable by any unauthenticated attacker who can craft HTTP requests with custom parameters. The attack is fully automatable and could be integrated into scanning tools. A patch is available in commit 388fcd57dbd16f6cb3ebcdf1d08cf2b929941128, and a GitHub Security Advisory (GHSA-9hv9-gvwm-95f2) has been published, increasing the likelihood that exploitation details are now public knowledge. Organizations running live streaming services with AVideo should treat this as an emergency patch priority given the direct impact on stream integrity and availability. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker discovers an AVideo installation hosting live streams and sends HTTP requests to the control.json.php endpoint with a crafted streamerURL parameter pointing to their own web server configured to return authentication success responses. The attacker can then issue commands to stop active live streams during critical broadcasts, start unauthorized recordings of private streams to exfiltrate content, or systematically probe which streams exist on the platform for reconnaissance. Given the low attack complexity and network accessibility (AV:N, AC:L), this vulnerability can be exploited remotely with simple HTTP tools or scripts without any special access or complex preparation. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 23, 2026
WWBN AVideo versions up to and including 26.0 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the standalone live stream control endpoint. The endpoint accepts a user-supplied 'streamerURL' parameter that redirects token verification to an attacker-controlled server, allowing complete bypass of authentication without any user interaction. With a CVSS score of 9.4, an attacker gains unauthenticated control over any live stream including the ability to drop publishers, manipulate recordings, and probe stream existence.
RemediationAI
Immediately upgrade to WWBN AVideo version 26.1 or later which includes the security fix implemented in commit 388fcd57dbd16f6cb3ebcdf1d08cf2b929941128 available at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/commit/388fcd57dbd16f6cb3ebcdf1d08cf2b929941128. If immediate patching is not possible, implement network-level access controls to restrict access to the plugin/Live/standAloneFiles/control.json.php endpoint to only trusted IP addresses or internal networks. Consider temporarily disabling the standalone live stream control functionality until patching can be completed. Review application logs for suspicious streamerURL parameters or unauthorized live stream control activity that may indicate exploitation attempts or successful compromise.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability resides in plugin/Live/standAloneFiles/control.json.php of WWBN AVideo (cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), an open-source video streaming platform built in PHP. The root cause is CWE-287 (Improper Authentication), where the application accepts external input to determine where authentication token verification requests should be sent. Rather than validating tokens against its own authentication infrastructure, the code allows the streamerURL parameter to redirect verification to arbitrary servers. An attacker can provide a malicious URL pointing to their own server that responds with a success message (such as {"error": false}), causing the application to incorrectly trust that authentication succeeded.

DescriptionGitHub Advisory
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the standalone live stream control endpoint at plugin/Live/standAloneFiles/control.json.php accepts a user-supplied streamerURL parameter that overrides where the server sends token verification requests. An attacker can redirect token verification to a server they control that always returns {"error": false}, completely bypassing authentication. This grants unauthenticated control over any live stream on the platform, including dropping active publishers, starting/stopping recordings, and probing stream existence. Commit 388fcd57dbd16f6cb3ebcdf1d08cf2b929941128 contains a patch.
Executive ViewAI
WWBN AVideo versions up to 26.0 contain a critical authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to take complete control of live streams without user interaction, including dropping publishers and manipulating recordings. Any organization using AVideo for live streaming is at immediate risk of service disruption, content manipulation, and potential data theft.
Disable the standalone live stream control endpoint if not operationally required. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block or sanitize requests containing 'streamerURL' parameters pointing to external domains. Restrict network access to the AVideo streaming endpoints using IP whitelisting and network segmentation. Enforce mutual TLS authentication at the network perimeter. Monitor and alert on all authentication failures and token verification redirects. Review and revoke any existing API tokens or stream credentials as precautionary measure.
