CVE-2026-43876
MediumCVSS 6.4Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk9th percentile - higher than 9% of all known CVEs
Summary
AVideo up to and including 29.0 passes the raw 'message' POST parameter into sendSiteEmail(), which substitutes it directly into an HTML email template without sanitization or output encoding. Any authenticated user with upload permission can broadcast arbitrary HTML (phishing links, tracking pixels, UI spoofing) to all channel subscribers, up to 10,000 recipients per invocation.
Risk Assessment
Attackers can send phishing emails that appear as official platform communications (with the site's logo and title), increasing the success of fraud and potentially leading to credential theft or malware infection. The flaw affects any authenticated user with upload permission.
Recommendation
Update AVideo to a version containing the referenced commit fix and enforce HTML sanitization/encoding of message content before sending. Restrict upload and notification broadcast permissions to trusted accounts.
Other vulnerabilities in AVideo
See all- CVE-2026-89255High
AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the LoginControl plugin that fails to HTML-encode PGP public keys echoed into a textarea element. An authenticated attacker can inject malicious JavaScript by submitting a crafted public key, which executes in an administrator's session when viewing the user's profile tab.
- CVE-2026-89253High
WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the user 'donationLink' profile field. User::setDonationLink() stores the value and save() validates it only with filter_var(..., FILTER_VALIDATE_URL), which accepts strings such as http://evil.example/"onmouseover=alert(document.domain)//, while getDonationLink() applies only strip_tags() and does not encode double quotes. An authenticated user who updates their own profile can break out of the href attribute and inject an event handler that executes JavaScript in the browser of any visitor, including an administrator.
- CVE-2026-89250High
WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains an unauthenticated file read vulnerability in the getRecordedFile.php endpoint that streams recorded FLV files from the temporary directory. Attackers can request the endpoint with a known or guessed stream key to download recorded live video files without authentication or authorization checks.
- CVE-2026-89248Medium
AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 is missing an authentication/authorization check in plugin/WebRTC/status.json.php. When the WebRTC plugin is present, any unauthenticated remote user can request the endpoint and receive JSON containing the absolute filesystem path of the WebRTC2RTMP helper binary, the configured WebRTC port, file_exists/is_executable status, log contents, and port reachability information.
- CVE-2026-89245Medium
WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in playlistRemove.php that allows attackers to delete playlists by skipping CSRF protection checks. Attackers can craft a malicious form that submits a POST request to playlistRemove.php.
- CVE-2026-89240Medium
WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in plugin/Live/confirmLivePassword.php. The unauthenticated GET parameter u is interpolated directly into an img src attribute without URL- or HTML-encoding, allowing injection of an additional tag with an onerror handler.
- CVE-2026-89148Medium
AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains an open redirect in objects/playlistSort.php. Because the endpoint is not a *.json.php script, AVideo's automatic CSRF guard (autoCSRFGuard()/forbidIfIsUntrustedRequest()) does not run, and when the request includes the sort parameter the script issues a Location header set to the unvalidated $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] value without calling isSafeRedirectURL(). A remote unauthenticated attacker can therefore induce a logged-in user who can manage the targeted playlist to submit a cross-origin POST with a crafted Referer, causing the victim's playlist to be reordered and the victim's browser to be redirected from a trusted AVideo URL to an attacker-controlled site for phishing. No patched version is available.
- CVE-2026-88874High
AVideo through revision c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 does not enforce the Live stream password check on the stats endpoint or on the HLS origin. Live::_getStats() returns a password-protected transmission's RTMP stream key, isPasswordProtected flag, and HLS URL to unauthenticated callers, and the shipped NGINX configuration serves the .m3u8 playlist, AES-128 key, and transport-stream segments without authentication.
- CVE-2026-88873High
WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in view/logArchive.json.php. Unauthenticated attackers can archive application logs via GET requests without CSRF token validation, copying sensitive logs to a publicly accessible zip file and truncating the live log.
- CVE-2026-88872High
AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in the setPassword.json.php endpoint. Unauthenticated attackers can modify any user's channel password by sending a GET request without CSRF token validation.
Original NVD description (English source)
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 29.0, objects/notifySubscribers.json.php takes the raw message POST parameter and passes it into sendSiteEmail(), which substitutes it directly into an HTML email template (via str_replace on the {message} placeholder) and renders it with PHPMailer::msgHTML(). There is no HTML sanitization, character escaping, or output encoding on the attacker-controlled message between $_POST['message'] and the rendered email. Any authenticated user with upload permission can therefore broadcast arbitrary HTML — phishing links, tracking pixels, CSS/UI spoofing — to every subscriber on their channel (up to 10,000 recipients per invocation). The email is sent From: the platform's configured contact address and wrapped in the site's official logo and title, so attacker-supplied HTML arrives with the appearance of an official platform communication. Commit https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/commit/ contains an updated fix.
