| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that a currently authenticated AVideo administrator visit an attacker-controlled web page or load attacker-controlled content in their browser while holding an active admin session cookie - this is the UI:P (passive user interaction) condition encoded in the CVSS 4.0 vector. The vulnerable endpoint channelToGallery.json.php must be reachable from the attacker's origin, which is the case for any internet-exposed AVideo installation. No special plugin configuration beyond the default Gallery plugin presence is indicated. Limiting factors include: the attack cannot proceed without administrator-level session involvement; the endpoint only affects gallery/channel configuration, not authentication, code execution, or sensitive data; and an attacker has no direct means to force the administrator interaction without a separate social-engineering step. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:L scores 5.3 (Medium), which accurately reflects the bounded real-world impact: exploitation is network-reachable and low-complexity but requires an administrator to interact with attacker-controlled content, and the resulting damage is limited to gallery configuration rather than code execution or data exfiltration. No EPSS score was provided in the intelligence data, and there is no KEV listing, meaning confirmed mass exploitation has not been observed. The integrity and availability impacts at Low level mean that while an attacker can deface the curated front page or remove gallery sections, no confidential data is exposed and the underlying platform remains operational. This places the vulnerability in the category of real but non-critical issues: it warrants patching on a normal cadence rather than emergency response, and even a mid-sized deployment should be able to address it through a standard maintenance window rather than an emergency rollout. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker identifies an AVideo instance and targets its administrators via phishing or a malicious advertisement on a third-party site. When a logged-in administrator's browser loads the attacker's page, embedded JavaScript or an image tag silently issues a GET request to the target's channelToGallery.json.php endpoint, carrying the admin's session cookie, and promotes an attacker-controlled channel to the site's front page. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified, but the attack requires only basic knowledge of the endpoint URL and parameter names. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 22, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in AVideo through commit 9c39d8c8 enables unauthenticated remote attackers to modify site-wide Gallery plugin configuration by exploiting the absence of CSRF token validation in channelToGallery.json.php. Any administrator who visits a crafted page while holding an active session can be silently coerced into promoting arbitrary channels to the front page or deleting curated gallery sections. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, and the impact is confined to integrity and limited availability of gallery content.
RemediationAI
Update AVideo to a commit or release beyond 9c39d8c8 as described in the vendor security advisory at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-8qq4-h7xj-p2c4 and the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/avideo-channeltogallery-json-php-cross-site-request-forgery. An exact patched release version is not independently confirmed from the available intelligence data; operators should verify the fix commit directly in the WWBN/AVideo repository. As a compensating control prior to patching, administrators can restrict access to channelToGallery.json.php at the web server or WAF layer to trusted IP ranges, reducing the attack surface at the cost of potentially breaking legitimate remote administration workflows. Additionally, enforcing short session timeouts for administrator accounts reduces the window during which a CSRF attempt can succeed.

Technical ContextAI · show details
AVideo (vendor: WWBN, CPE cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is an open-source, self-hosted PHP video platform. The vulnerability resides in channelToGallery.json.php, a PHP endpoint belonging to the Gallery plugin that processes writes to plugin configuration data. CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery) is the root cause: the endpoint accepts state-mutating GET requests without validating a synchronizer token, double-submit cookie, or Origin/Referer header, so the browser's automatic cookie-attachment behavior allows a third-party page to issue authorized requests on behalf of a logged-in administrator. The affected codebase is tracked by commit hash rather than a named release version, indicating an untagged or rolling state at the time of disclosure.

DescriptionCVE.org
AVideo through commit 9c39d8c8 contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in channelToGallery.json.php that allows attackers to modify site-wide Gallery configuration by performing unauthorized writes to plugin data. Attackers can craft a cross-site GET request carrying an administrator's session cookie to promote arbitrary channels to the front page or delete curated sections without token validation.
