| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated account with the canStream role on the target AVideo instance; unauthenticated users and accounts lacking canStream privilege cannot exploit this flaw. The attacker must additionally know or enumerate a valid linkId belonging to a different user who has an existing LiveLink configured - the endpoint updates existing records and cannot create a new LiveLink under a victim's account via this path. No special server configuration beyond the default multi-user AVideo deployment is required. The principal limiting factors are: (1) authentication with canStream privilege, and (2) knowledge of a victim's linkId value. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 with VI:H and all confidentiality/availability metrics at None accurately characterizes this as a pure integrity flaw - stream hijacking with no data exfiltration or service disruption. The PR:L requirement is the primary gate: exploitation demands a valid canStream account, limiting the attacker population to registered platform users. With no EPSS data supplied and no CISA KEV listing, real-world exploitation probability is moderate but not negligible - even a mid-sized municipal IT team in ustka running a shared AVideo instance with multiple canStream users should treat this as a meaningful risk, particularly where stream credibility matters (news, education, or monetized content). The absence of a public POC lowers immediate urgency, but the trivial exploit mechanics (a single crafted POST with a guessed or enumerated linkId) mean a capable insider or compromised low-privilege account could cause significant reputational damage. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated canStream user enumerates valid linkId values belonging to other platform users - either through sequential guessing or by observing IDs exposed in normal platform API responses - then submits a crafted POST request to addLiveLink.php specifying the victim's linkId alongside an attacker-controlled HLS URL. The server processes the update without checking ownership, silently redirecting the victim's live stream viewers to attacker-controlled media content. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the attack requires only standard HTTP tooling. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 11, 2026
Missing ownership verification in AVideo's addLiveLink.php enables any authenticated canStream user to hijack another user's LiveLink by supplying a known linkId in an update request, overwriting the victim's HLS source URL and stream metadata without authorization. The flaw affects AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 and allows an attacker to silently redirect the victim's viewers to attacker-controlled media. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the low privilege bar - only a canStream account is required - makes this a realistic threat on shared multi-user AVideo deployments.
RemediationAI
Apply the fix referenced in GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-m2c6-f5ww-j26v (https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-m2c6-f5ww-j26v); the exact patched release version is not independently confirmed from available input data, so operators should verify the corrected commit or release tag in the advisory directly. As a compensating control pending patching, restrict canStream privileges to fully trusted internal users, reducing the population of potential attackers; removing canStream from untrusted or guest accounts eliminates the attack surface entirely. The root fix requires adding an ownership check in addLiveLink.php that compares the linkId's registered owner field against the authenticated session's user ID before processing any update operation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
AVideo (WWBN/AVideo) is an open-source PHP video-hosting platform that supports live streaming via LiveLinks - records binding an HLS source URL and associated metadata to a specific user. The addLiveLink.php endpoint handles both creation and update of these records; on update, it accepts a linkId parameter to identify the target record but omits any ownership check comparing the supplied linkId's registered owner against the authenticated session user. This is a textbook CWE-639 (Authorization Through User-Controlled Key / IDOR) flaw: the application trusts a user-supplied identifier to scope a privileged operation without enforcing the access control boundary. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all versions through the referenced commit.

DescriptionCVE.org
AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 fails to verify ownership in addLiveLink.php when updating LiveLinks, allowing authenticated users to modify other users' links. A canStream user can overwrite another user's LiveLink HLS source and metadata by supplying an existing linkId, redirecting viewers to attacker-controlled media.
Technical POC Analysis
Missing authorization on the update path of the AVideo LiveLinks plugin.
Full technical POC analysis - root cause, step-by-step exploitation and patch breakdown - is part of the Pro and Business plans.
Executive ViewAI
AVideo installations contain a missing ownership verification flaw in the LiveLink feature that allows any authenticated user with basic stream permissions to hijack other users' livestreams by redirecting viewers to attacker-controlled media. This poses a direct threat to content integrity and audience trust on multi-user AVideo deployments.
Restrict canStream account issuance to a minimal trusted user group; implement and monitor comprehensive audit logs for all LiveLink operations; disable the LiveLink feature if operationally feasible; enforce network-level access controls limiting requests to addLiveLink.php endpoints to trusted internal IP ranges; monitor livestream metadata for unauthorized modifications.
