Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions are required for the deletion primitive - remote unauthenticated exploitation is possible against default configurations of WWBN AVideo wherever the application is network-accessible, as the get_api_login_code endpoint accepts unauthenticated requests (PR:N, UI:N in CVSS terms). The key limiting factor is the file extension constraint: only files ending in .log can be deleted, excluding executable binaries, configuration files, and database files from the impact scope. A secondary constraint is OS-level filesystem permissions: the web server process must hold delete rights on the traversal-resolved path, meaning system log files owned by root and not world-writable are protected unless the AVideo process runs with elevated privileges. The information disclosure (file existence probing) primitive is similarly unauthenticated and network-accessible.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 with AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N reflects low-friction unauthenticated network exploitation, but the impact metrics (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) appropriately capture the constrained blast radius - only .log files can be deleted, not arbitrary data or executables. Even a mid-sized municipal IT team in gdynia running AVideo for internal media distribution should treat this as a meaningful priority if compliance or audit logging is a regulatory requirement, since log destruction directly impairs incident response and may trigger compliance findings. No EPSS score was provided; KEV status is negative; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. The primary real-world risk is an attacker erasing evidence of prior unauthorized access rather than achieving code execution or data exfiltration, placing this in the anti-forensics threat category. The information disclosure component (filesystem probing) adds reconnaissance value that could chain into deeper exploitation. Overall priority: moderate, elevated for deployments where audit integrity is a compliance concern.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated remote attacker sends an HTTP request to the AVideo get_api_login_code endpoint with the code parameter set to a traversal payload such as ../../../../var/log/nginx/access.log, causing the server process to delete the target log file if the web user has write permissions to that path. The attacker can repeat this with different traversal depths and filenames, using response differences to map the server's directory structure and identify sensitive log paths before deleting them. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the attack requires only basic HTTP request manipulation and is well within reach of any attacker familiar with path traversal techniques.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 01, 2026

Path traversal in WWBN AVideo's unauthenticated get_api_login_code API endpoint enables remote attackers to delete arbitrary .log files and enumerate filesystem paths by injecting directory traversal sequences into the code parameter. All versions covered by CPE cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* are affected, with exploitation requiring no authentication or user interaction. The primary security consequence is destruction of audit trails and access logs, which undermines incident detection and forensic response capabilities; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

The primary remediation is to apply the fix described in GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-wh69-gqmj-rcqg at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-wh69-gqmj-rcqg; an exact patched release version is not independently confirmed from the available input data, so consult the advisory directly for the fixed version tag. As a compensating control pending patching, configure a WAF or reverse proxy rule to reject requests to get_api_login_code containing traversal sequences (../, %2e%2e%2f, %2e%2e/, .%2e/) in query or body parameters - note this may affect legitimate API usage if the code parameter also processes valid non-traversal input. Additionally, restrict the web server process to the minimum required filesystem permissions so that even if exploited, the process cannot delete logs outside the AVideo application directory. Enabling centralized, off-host log shipping (e.g., syslog-ng or Fluentd to a remote SIEM) as a compensating control ensures log integrity even if local .log files are deleted.

Technical ContextAI · show details

AVideo is an open-source self-hosted video streaming and management platform developed by WWBN. The vulnerable get_api_login_code endpoint accepts a code parameter that is incorporated into a file path without sanitization, a textbook CWE-73 (External Control of File Name or Path) flaw. By supplying sequences such as ../../var/log/apache2/access.log in the code parameter, the server resolves the traversal outside the intended directory and deletes the resulting target - constrained to files with a .log extension based on the description. A secondary exploitation primitive is timing- or error-differential-based file existence probing: the API response differs depending on whether a traversal-resolved path exists, exposing filesystem layout to the attacker. The affected CPE wildcard cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all known releases.

DescriptionCVE.org

WWBN AVideo contains a path traversal vulnerability in the API get_api_login_code endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary .log files by supplying directory traversal sequences in the code parameter. Attackers can exploit this to destroy audit logs and probe for file existence on the server, with the vulnerability enabling both file deletion and information disclosure about the filesystem.

Attack Technique

Path traversal exploits occur when applications use user-controlled input to construct file system paths without proper validation.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
