Exploitation Conditions

The victim must be actively authenticated to the targeted AVideo instance at the time they visit attacker-controlled content. The LoginControl plugin with PGP 2FA must be enabled on the AVideo deployment - this is not the default state for all installations, and instances that do not use PGP 2FA are not exposed to this endpoint's risk. The savePublicKey.json.php endpoint must be reachable from the attacker's delivery vector (i.e., the AVideo instance must be internet-accessible or the attacker must be on the same network). Escalation from lockout to full account takeover requires the attacker to independently know or obtain the victim's account password; the CSRF alone cannot provide credential access. User interaction is limited to visiting a single attacker-controlled page or loading embedded content (e.g., an email with a tracking pixel).

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:N/VA:L) correctly captures the primary exploitation constraint - passive user interaction is required - but the VI:N rating appears inconsistent with the actual attack mechanics: replacing a cryptographic authentication key stored by the application is a clear integrity modification of the vulnerable system's data, suggesting the vector understates integrity impact. EPSS data was not provided, and there is no CISA KEV listing, so no evidence of active exploitation is available. No public exploit code has been identified. The attack is technically simple (embed a URL in an image tag) and fully automatable, making phishing campaigns plausible at scale; even a mid-sized municipal IT team in mielec operating a self-hosted AVideo instance should treat this as a meaningful risk if administrators rely on PGP 2FA for privileged accounts. The full account-takeover scenario is bounded by a significant prerequisite: the attacker must independently know the victim's password, which limits this from a pure CSRF to a credential-assisted chain. Absent that, the realistic standalone impact is account lockout, which is lower severity.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker generates a PGP keypair, then crafts an HTML page containing <img src='https://target-avideo.example/path/savePublicKey.json.php?key=ATTACKER_PGP_PUBKEY'> and delivers it via a phishing email to an AVideo user who is currently logged in. When the victim's browser loads the page, it automatically issues the GET request with the victim's session cookie, replacing the stored PGP key with the attacker's. If the attacker already has the victim's account password (from a prior breach or credential stuffing), they can now log in and pass the PGP 2FA challenge, gaining full account access.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 10, 2026

Cross-site request forgery in WWBN AVideo's LoginControl plugin allows network-adjacent unauthenticated attackers to silently replace a logged-in victim's PGP two-factor authentication public key by luring them to a page containing a crafted image tag pointing to the unprotected savePublicKey.json.php GET endpoint. The outcome is either account lockout (denying the legitimate user access) or full account takeover if the attacker independently possesses the victim's password and can now pass 2FA using their own PGP key. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Administrators should update WWBN AVideo to a commit beyond c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 as directed by the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-g4x9-vh2j-h7rj (https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-g4x9-vh2j-h7rj); an exact patched release version was not independently confirmed from the provided data and should be verified directly against that advisory. As an immediate compensating control pending patching, configure the web server (Apache/nginx) to reject GET requests to savePublicKey.json.php and enforce POST-only access; this neutralizes the image-tag vector but may require application-level changes to ensure the legitimate client flow is not broken. Alternatively, disabling the PGP 2FA feature in the LoginControl plugin eliminates the attack surface entirely at the cost of losing 2FA protection. Deploying a web application firewall rule that blocks cross-origin requests to PGP key endpoints (checking Origin or Referer headers) provides a partial mitigation but is bypassable if the application does not also reject malformed or absent referrer headers.

Technical ContextAI · show details

WWBN AVideo is a self-hosted, open-source PHP video platform (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). Its LoginControl plugin implements PGP-based two-factor authentication, exposing savePublicKey.json.php as an endpoint to update a user's PGP public key. The root cause is CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery): the endpoint accepts state-changing operations via HTTP GET requests and performs no CSRF token validation. Since browsers automatically attach session cookies to same-origin and cross-origin requests triggered by HTML elements like <img>, an attacker can embed the endpoint URL as an image source on an external page, causing the victim's authenticated browser session to execute the key-replacement request without the victim's knowledge or consent. The vulnerability is present through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1.

DescriptionCVE.org

WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in the LoginControl plugin PGP key endpoints that lack CSRF token validation. Attackers can craft malicious pages with image tags pointing to savePublicKey.json.php to replace a logged-in victim's PGP 2FA public key, causing lockout or enabling account takeover if the attacker knows the password.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

WWBN AVideo's LoginControl plugin contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability allowing unauthenticated network-adjacent attackers to hijack a logged-in user's two-factor authentication credentials. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. This vulnerability directly threatens account takeover or denial of access and must be prioritized because it bypasses a primary authentication control.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Implement network segmentation to limit the attack scope to authorized network segments; temporarily disable PGP-based 2FA and enforce strong password-only authentication if feasible; monitor login and 2FA modification logs for unauthorized changes; deploy a web application firewall rule to enforce SameSite=Strict cookies on the LoginControl plugin if configurable; educate users to avoid clicking links from untrusted sources on internal networks; and maintain an inventory of accounts with 2FA enabled to expedite incident response.
