MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence 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 can exploit WWBN AVideo versions up to 26.0 by sending a crafted stream key parameter to the Live_schedule::keyExists() fallback method. No victim interaction required. Affects default installations with live streaming functionality enabled. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 9.1 (Critical) reflects network-accessible attack vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and high impact to confidentiality and integrity (C:H/I:H/A:N). The PR:N designation confirms unauthenticated exploitation capability, making this immediately exploitable by remote attackers without credentials. The vulnerability targets RTMP authentication infrastructure, a publicly-exposed service in typical AVideo deployments, increasing real-world attack surface. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS/KEV data not provided, but the low complexity combined with unauthenticated access vector suggests high automatable exploitation potential once discovered. The absence of patches elevates urgency, as vulnerable instances remain exposed with no direct vendor remediation path. This represents a genuine high-priority risk for organizations running AVideo platforms with live streaming capabilities. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated remote attacker initiates an RTMP connection to the AVideo server's publish endpoint, crafting a malicious stream key containing SQL injection payloads (e.g., single quotes with UNION-based or boolean-based injection syntax). When the server validates this key through LiveTransmition::keyExists(), the fallback to the vulnerable Live_schedule::keyExists() method executes the attacker's SQL commands. The attacker extracts administrator credentials, API keys, user data from the database, or modifies live schedule configurations to hijack legitimate streaming sessions, all without requiring authentication or specialized tooling beyond standard RTMP clients. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 27, 2026
SQL injection in WWBN AVideo versions up to 26.0 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to extract sensitive database contents and modify data through the RTMP publish authentication stream key validation mechanism. The vulnerability (CVSS 9.1 Critical) arises from unsanitized string interpolation in Live_schedule::keyExists() fallback logic, affecting the open-source video platform's live streaming infrastructure. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis according to advisory documentation. Organizations should immediately implement compensating controls: deploy a web application firewall with SQL injection signature detection rules targeting the RTMP authentication endpoints, restrict RTMP port access (typically TCP 1935) to trusted IP ranges using network-layer access controls, implement database query monitoring to detect anomalous SQL patterns in Live_schedule table operations, and consider disabling live streaming functionality if not operationally required. Monitor the GitHub security advisory at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-xgv5-66wp-ch88 for upstream patch releases and code commits addressing this issue. Review application logs for suspicious stream key validation attempts showing SQL syntax patterns or timing-based enumeration indicators.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WWBN AVideo is an open-source video platform solution (cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) that supports RTMP-based live streaming. The vulnerability stems from CWE-89 (SQL Injection) where the Live_schedule::keyExists() method constructs SQL queries using direct string interpolation of the stream key parameter. While LiveTransmition::keyExists() initially employs parameterized queries, the code falls back to the vulnerable Live_schedule method when no results are returned, bypassing the initial protection. This affects the RTMP publish authentication flow, where stream keys are validated before allowing broadcasters to transmit live video. The flaw is distinct from GHSA-pvw4-p2jm-chjm which targets the live_schedule_id parameter in reminder functionality.

DescriptionCVE.org
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the Live_schedule::keyExists() method constructs a SQL query by interpolating a stream key directly into the query string without parameterization. This method is called as a fallback from LiveTransmition::keyExists() when the initial parameterized lookup returns no results. Although the calling function correctly uses parameterized queries for its own lookup, the fallback path to Live_schedule::keyExists() undoes this protection entirely. This vulnerability is distinct from GHSA-pvw4-p2jm-chjm, which covers SQL injection via the live_schedule_id parameter in the reminder function. This finding targets the stream key lookup path used during RTMP publish authentication. As of time of publication, no patched versions are available.
Executive ViewAI
WWBN AVideo versions up to 26.0 contain a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the live streaming authentication mechanism that allows unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive database contents and modify data without authentication. Organizations operating AVideo for live streaming services face immediate risk of data breach and operational disruption, with no vendor patch currently available to remediate the exposure.
Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to filter malicious SQL syntax in RTMP key parameters; restrict network access to RTMP publish endpoints via IP allowlisting or VPN-only access; disable RTMP live streaming feature if operationally feasible; segment AVideo database systems behind firewalls with strict egress filtering; enable comprehensive database query logging and real-time alerting on anomalous SQL patterns; rotate database credentials and implement principle of least privilege for AVideo service accounts.
