CVE-2026-86186

MediumCVSS 6.5
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

AVideo API fails to enforce rate limits when clients send a bot User-Agent header, allowing attackers to bypass all eight protected operations including login brute-force protection. Attackers can send requests with a bot User-Agent to disable rate limiting and perform unlimited password guessing attempts against any account from a single IP address.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes the possibility of brute-force attacks on user accounts, potentially leading to account takeover and unauthorized access to AVideo resources.

Recommendation

Update AVideo to a version that properly enforces rate limits regardless of User-Agent header. Additionally, consider adding extra protection mechanisms such as CAPTCHA.
