Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionGitHub Advisory
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the plugin/Live/uploadPoster.php endpoint allows any authenticated user to overwrite the poster image for any scheduled live stream by supplying an arbitrary live_schedule_id. The endpoint only checks User::isLogged() but never verifies that the authenticated user owns the targeted schedule. After overwriting the poster, the endpoint broadcasts a socketLiveOFFCallback notification containing the victim's broadcast key and user ID to all connected WebSocket clients. Commit 5fcb3bdf59f26d65e203cfbc8a685356ba300b60 fixes the issue.
AnalysisAI
WWBN AVideo versions up to 26.0 allow authenticated users to arbitrarily overwrite poster images for any scheduled live stream due to missing authorization checks in the uploadPoster.php endpoint, combined with subsequent broadcast of sensitive broadcast keys and user IDs to all connected WebSocket clients. An authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability without user interaction to deface another user's scheduled broadcasts and potentially harvest credential material for further attacks. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the vulnerability has been disclosed via GitHub security advisory with a published fix commit available.
Technical ContextAI
WWBN AVideo is an open-source video streaming platform implemented in PHP. The vulnerability exists in the plugin/Live/uploadPoster.php endpoint, which processes poster image uploads for scheduled live streams. The root cause is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), a common weakness in web applications where authentication (user login) is verified but authorization (user ownership/permission) is not. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, indicating all versions in the 26.x line and earlier. The endpoint relies solely on User::isLogged() to validate requests, which confirms identity but does not verify that the authenticated user has legitimate access to the live_schedule_id parameter supplied in the request. The secondary exposure occurs through the WebSocket notification system (socketLiveOFFCallback), which broadcasts the victim's broadcast key and user ID to all connected clients without filtering or access controls, potentially leaking sensitive session identifiers.
RemediationAI
Upgrade WWBN AVideo to a version incorporating commit 5fcb3bdf59f26d65e203cfbc8a685356ba300b60 or later (refer to the vendor's GitHub repository at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo for the corresponding tagged release version). Until patching is possible, implement compensating controls by restricting direct access to the plugin/Live/uploadPoster.php endpoint at the web server or reverse proxy level to trusted administrative IP ranges, and audit WebSocket client access logs to detect unauthorized broadcast key leakage. Additionally, review the Live module's authorization model to ensure all user-modifiable resources (scheduled broadcasts, poster images, metadata) validate ownership before accepting modifications.
