Summary
In ClipBucket version 5.5.2, a change to network.class.php causes the application to dynamically build the server URL from the incoming HTTP Host header when the configuration base_url is not set. Because Host is client-controlled, an attacker can supply an arbitrary Host value, causing password-reset links sent by forget.php to point to the attacker's domain. If a victim follows the link and enters their activation code on the attacker-controlled domain, the attacker can capture the code and take over the account.
Risk Assessment
Potential account takeover through interception of password-reset codes, leading to unauthorized access to the platform. Exploitation only requires the victim to click a crafted link.
Recommendation
Update ClipBucket to version 5.5.2#162 or later and explicitly set the base_url configuration parameter so generated links do not depend on the Host header.
Other vulnerabilities in ClipBucket
See all- CVE-2026-102570Medium
ClipBucket v5 through 5.5.3-#197 contains a time-based blind SQL injection vulnerability in the language update function where the language_id parameter is concatenated unescaped into the WHERE clause of an UPDATE statement. An authenticated administrator with basic_settings permission can inject arbitrary SQL payloads to extract or modify database contents.
- CVE-2012-6643High
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in the update_counter function in includes/functions.php in ClipBucket 2.6 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the time parameter to videos.php or channels.php.
- CVE-2026-80138Critical
ClipBucket V5's web installer fails to properly validate or escape the php_cli_filepath parameter before passing it to shell execution. Unauthenticated attackers can submit a crafted POST request to the installer with a malicious php_cli_filepath value to execute arbitrary commands as the web server user.
- CVE-2026-42846Critical
ClipBucket v5 is an open source video sharing platform. Prior to version 5.5.3 - #140, the Remote Play feature allowed adding videos by importing an external URL, leading to arbitrary command execution due to improper URL handling.
- CVE-2026-21875Critical
ClipBucket v5 versions 5.5.2-#187 and below allow an attacker to perform Blind SQL Injection through the add comment section within a channel. The obj_id parameter in the POST request to /actions/ajax.php is used within the user_exists function of the upload/includes/classes/user.class.php file as the $id parameter, and then used within the count function of the upload/includes/classes/db.class.php file. The $id parameter is concatenated into the query without validation or sanitization, and user-supplied input like 1' or 1=1-- - can trigger the injection. This issue does not have a fix at the time of publication.
- CVE-2025-67418Critical
ClipBucket 5.5.2 is shipped with hardcoded default administrative credentials. An unauthenticated remote attacker can log in to the admin panel, gaining full administrative control of the application.
- CVE-2025-64338Critical
ClipBucket v5 versions 5.5.2 - #156 and below allow an authenticated regular user to create a photo collection whose Collection Name contains HTML/JavaScript payloads, making ClipBucket’s Manage Photos feature vulnerable to Stored XSS. The payload is rendered unsafely in the Admin → Manage Photos interface, causing it to execute in the administrator’s browser, allowing an attacker to target administrators and perform actions with elevated privileges.
- CVE-2026-110627Medium
ClipBucket v5 through 5.5.3-#206 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in admin_area/index.php that allows attackers to inject HTML via the val parameter in mode=add_todo. Attackers can lure a logged-in administrator into submitting a cross-site POST form without CSRF protection, executing script in the admin panel origin.
- CVE-2026-110626Medium
ClipBucket v5 through 5.5.3-#206 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in admin_area/language_settings.php via the unencoded edit_language GET parameter. Attackers can send administrators with basic_settings permission a crafted link whose payload is echoed into a hidden input, executing script in the admin panel origin.
- CVE-2026-110625Medium
ClipBucket v5 through 5.5.3-#206 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in admin_area/flagged_item.php via the unencoded type GET parameter. Attackers can send crafted flagged_item.php?type= links to logged-in administrators or moderators to execute injected script in the admin panel origin.
Original NVD description (English source)
ClipBucket v5 is an open source video sharing platform. In ClipBucket version 5.5.2, a change to network.class.php causes the application to dynamically build the server URL from the incoming HTTP Host header when the configuration base_url is not set. Because Host is a client-controlled header, an attacker can supply an arbitrary Host value. This allows an attacker to cause password-reset links (sent by forget.php) to be generated with the attacker’s domain. If a victim follows that link and enters their activation code on the attacker-controlled domain, the attacker can capture the code and use it to reset the victim’s password and take over the account. This issue has been patched in version 5.5.2#162.
