Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionGitHub Advisory
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the downloadVideoFromDownloadURL() function in objects/aVideoEncoder.json.php saves remote content to a web-accessible temporary directory using the original URL's filename and extension (including .php). By providing an invalid resolution parameter, an attacker triggers an early die() via forbiddenPage() before the temp file can be moved or cleaned up, leaving an executable PHP file persistently accessible under the web root at videos/cache/tmpFile/. Commit 6da79b43484099a0b660d1544a63c07b633ed3a2 contains a patch.
AnalysisAI
WWBN AVideo versions up to and including 26.0 contain a critical file upload vulnerability (CWE-434) that allows authenticated attackers to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code on the server. The vulnerability exists in the downloadVideoFromDownloadURL() function which saves remote content with its original filename and extension to a web-accessible directory; by providing an invalid resolution parameter, attackers can bypass cleanup mechanisms, leaving executable PHP files persistent under the web root. With a CVSS score of 8.8, this represents a high-severity remote code execution risk for authenticated users.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability affects WWBN AVideo (cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), an open-source video platform built in PHP. The root cause is CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type), specifically in the objects/aVideoEncoder.json.php file. The downloadVideoFromDownloadURL() function downloads remote content and saves it to the videos/cache/tmpFile/ directory using the original URL's filename without proper sanitization or type restriction. The function's error handling via forbiddenPage() combined with an early die() statement creates a race condition where malicious PHP files persist in a web-accessible location before the intended cleanup or relocation can occur. This represents a classic insecure file upload pattern where user-controlled filenames are trusted and placed directly under the web root without validation.
RemediationAI
Organizations running WWBN AVideo should immediately upgrade to a version containing commit 6da79b43484099a0b660d1544a63c07b633ed3a2 or later, which patches the file upload vulnerability in the downloadVideoFromDownloadURL() function (see patch details at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/commit/6da79b43484099a0b660d1544a63c07b633ed3a2). Consult the GitHub security advisory at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-8wf4-c4x3-h952 for complete remediation guidance. As a temporary mitigation until patching is possible, restrict access to the AVideo platform to trusted users only, disable user registration if enabled, implement web application firewall rules to block requests with suspicious resolution parameters to aVideoEncoder.json.php, and monitor the videos/cache/tmpFile/ directory for unauthorized PHP files. Consider restricting execution permissions on the cache directory via web server configuration as an additional defense-in-depth measure.
