| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session with at least a low-privilege AVideo account (PR:L). The attacker must have access to a functionality that accepts user-supplied URLs and triggers server-side HTTP requests, such as video import, thumbnail fetching, or RSS ingestion features. The attack prerequisites (AT:P) require that the AVideo server be deployed in an environment where the target address - typically the cloud instance metadata endpoint at 169.254.169.254 or a loopback-hosted service - is reachable from the application process, and that the underlying network stack supports NAT64 address resolution. On-premises deployments without cloud metadata services or sensitive loopback listeners present a substantially lower impact surface. IMDSv2 enforcement with hop-limit controls on AWS eliminates the most critical impact path. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:L) signals that exploitation is network-reachable but constrained by high complexity and specific attack prerequisites - mass automated exploitation is unlikely. The high confidentiality impact (VC:H, SC:H) is realistic in cloud deployments where the IMDSv1 metadata endpoint is accessible from the application server without hop-limit controls, as successful SSRF to that endpoint returns IAM role credentials usable for lateral movement. The integrity impact is limited (VI:L, SI:L) and availability is unaffected. No EPSS score was provided, and neither KEV listing nor public proof-of-concept has been confirmed, which moderates urgency for on-premises deployments. However, any AVideo instance hosted in a cloud environment without IMDSv2 enforcement - even a mid-sized municipal IT team in tczew deploying AVideo for public video archives would face this if running on unprotected cloud VMs - faces meaningful credential-theft risk that warrants prompt remediation. The AC:H and AT:P modifiers confirm this is not a universally exploitable flaw but a targeted one against specific deployment configurations. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a low-privilege AVideo account submits a URL containing the hex-encoded NAT64 address 64:ff9b::a9fe:a9fe to any feature that triggers a server-side HTTP fetch. The isSSRFSafeURL filter passes the request because it does not recognize the hex NAT64 format as equivalent to 169.254.169.254; the application server then fetches the cloud metadata endpoint and returns the response to the attacker. No confirmed public proof-of-concept exploit exists, but the technique is well-documented in SSRF bypass literature and requires only knowledge of NAT64 address encoding. |

Alert meAnalysisAI
SSRF filter bypass in WWBN AVideo exposes cloud metadata services and loopback interfaces to authenticated low-privilege attackers. The isSSRFSafeURL function fails to normalize IPv6 NAT64 addresses rendered in hexadecimal notation, allowing crafted URLs such as 64:ff9b::a9fe:a9fe to resolve to protected addresses like 169.254.169.254 while evading the SSRF blocklist. Exploitation could yield cloud instance credentials or access to internal services; no public exploit or KEV listing is confirmed at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Consult the GitHub Security Advisory at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-88jm-rxg9-3v5r for the official patch; no exact fixed version was present in the provided data, so patch availability per vendor advisory should be verified directly before assuming remediation. As a high-priority compensating control for cloud deployments, enforce IMDSv2 with a hop-limit of 1 on AWS EC2 instances (or equivalent metadata service hardening on GCP/Azure), which prevents server-side application requests from reaching the metadata endpoint regardless of URL encoding. At the network perimeter, configure egress filtering to block outbound connections from the AVideo application server to 169.254.0.0/16, 127.0.0.0/8, and their IPv6 equivalents including 64:ff9b::/96; note that overly broad egress rules may break legitimate outbound media fetching features. For organizations unable to patch immediately, restricting the AVideo user-supplied URL fetching feature to an allowlist of known-safe external domains is the most targeted control, though this may reduce functionality.

Technical ContextAI · show details
AVideo (formerly PHP AVideo) is an open-source video streaming and sharing platform maintained by WWBN, affected across all versions per CPE cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The root cause is CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation): the isSSRFSafeURL function applies blocklist logic against well-known dangerous addresses but does not canonicalize IPv6 NAT64 representations before checking. NAT64 (RFC 6146) is an IPv6 transition mechanism embedding IPv4 addresses within the 64:ff9b::/96 prefix; the hex form of 169.254.169.254 (the AWS instance metadata IP, a9fe:a9fe in hex) is 64:ff9b::a9fe:a9fe. The underlying network stack resolves this correctly to the protected destination, while the application-layer filter sees a novel format it does not recognize as dangerous.

DescriptionCVE.org
WWBN AVideo contains a server-side request forgery filter bypass vulnerability in the isSSRFSafeURL function that fails to normalize NAT64 addresses written in hexadecimal form. Attackers can bypass SSRF protections by supplying hex-encoded NAT64 addresses like 64:ff9b::a9fe:a9fe to reach cloud metadata services and loopback interfaces.
Technical POC Analysis
CWE-20 improper input validation (advisory also assigns CWE-693 protection-mechanism failure and notes CWE-918 reachability) in isSSRFSafeURL() in objects/functions.php (WWBN/AVideo).
