Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid authenticated API session with at least low-privilege access, as confirmed by the PR:L metric in the CVSS vector. The vulnerability is triggered through the set_api_userImages endpoint by supplying an internal or link-local URL in either the profileImg or backgroundImg parameters. The most severe impact - cloud IAM credential exfiltration - is limited to deployments hosted on cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) where instance metadata services are accessible from the application server host; on-premises deployments lose the IMDS threat vector but remain exposed to internal service enumeration and response disclosure. The exfiltration step additionally requires that the AVideo web process has write access to a publicly readable directory, which is the default application behavior. No non-default configuration flags or special product features need to be enabled beyond standard API access.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N with VC:H/VI:L) appropriately reflects a medium-high risk: the attack is network-accessible, low-complexity, and produces high confidentiality impact. The decisive risk amplifier is the non-blind response-exfiltration path - the server writes fetched content to a public web path, eliminating the guesswork inherent in traditional blind SSRF and making cloud metadata credential theft a reliable, single-step operation. On cloud-hosted deployments, successful exploitation can yield IAM role credentials enabling lateral movement that far exceeds the severity of the AVideo instance itself. The PR:L prerequisite (authenticated API session) partially constrains the attack surface, but if AVideo's API allows open or low-barrier registration, that constraint may be negligible in practice. No EPSS score was provided and no CISA KEV listing exists, so widespread opportunistic exploitation has not been observed; however, even a mid-sized municipal IT team in mielec running AVideo on cloud infrastructure should treat this as urgent given the cloud credential exposure risk. Non-cloud deployments face reduced but non-zero risk from internal service enumeration and response disclosure.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with a valid low-privilege AVideo API account sends a POST to set_api_userImages with profileImg set to http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/. The server fetches the IMDSv1 endpoint and writes the JSON credential response to a publicly accessible web directory path. The attacker issues a standard HTTP GET to retrieve the file, obtaining cloud IAM role credentials (access key, secret, session token) for immediate lateral movement within the cloud environment.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 03, 2026

Server-side request forgery in WWBN AVideo (all versions through commit c91b5975d) allows authenticated API clients to force the application server to fetch arbitrary internal URLs via the unvalidated profileImg and backgroundImg parameters in the set_api_userImages endpoint. Unlike blind SSRF, fetched responses are written to publicly accessible web paths, enabling reliable exfiltration of cloud metadata credentials (e.g., AWS IMDS IAM tokens), internal API responses, and network-internal service data. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis, but the non-blind exfiltration path significantly elevates real-world exploitability for cloud-hosted deployments.

RemediationAI

The primary fix is to update WWBN AVideo to a commit after c91b5975d as described in the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-xq33-878j-m9w8 at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-xq33-878j-m9w8; a specific tagged release version is not confirmed in available data, so operators should verify the latest release incorporates the fix. If immediate patching is not possible, deploy a network-layer egress filter on the AVideo application server blocking outbound requests to link-local ranges (169.254.0.0/16), loopback (127.0.0.0/8), and RFC-1918 internal ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) - this prevents IMDS and internal-service SSRF while preserving legitimate external image fetches, though it does not fix the root cause. On AWS, enforcing IMDSv2 (requiring a PUT-based session token before credential reads) will block IMDSv1-style GET metadata theft even if SSRF occurs. As an additional hardening measure, restrict public web-server read access to the directory where user-image fetches are written; this breaks the exfiltration path even if the underlying SSRF fetch succeeds.

Technical ContextAI · show details

WWBN AVideo is an open-source video platform (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The affected set_api_userImages API endpoint accepts user-supplied remote URLs for profile and background images and performs server-side HTTP fetches without validating the target host, scheme, or address range - the root cause defined by CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery). The critical aggravating factor is that this SSRF is output-based rather than blind: the application writes fetched content to a publicly accessible web directory, allowing the attacker to retrieve the full server response via a standard HTTP GET. This design pattern converts what might otherwise be a low-information-value SSRF into a reliable data-exfiltration primitive. On cloud infrastructure, link-local metadata endpoints such as AWS IMDSv1 (169.254.169.254) are reachable without authentication from the application host, making IAM credential theft a direct consequence.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

WWBN AVideo (all versions through commit c91b5975d) contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability allowing authenticated users to exfiltrate cloud credentials and internal configuration data through unvalidated image parameters. Cloud-hosted deployments face elevated risk of AWS IAM credential theft and potential cloud account compromise through metadata service access. With no vendor patch available, immediate network-level isolation of application servers from metadata endpoints is required.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Implement network-level egress filtering to block application server outbound connections to cloud metadata endpoints and internal network segments; disable or strictly rate-limit the set_api_userImages endpoint; enforce application-level API authentication and input validation; deploy WAF rules to reject requests containing suspicious URL patterns in image parameters; immediately rotate all cloud service credentials; establish continuous monitoring for abnormal outbound connections and API endpoint usage patterns from the application server.
