# CVE-2026-28501: AVideo has Unauthenticated SQL Injection via JSON Request Bypass in objects/videos.json.php

**Signal:** Critical and remotely reachable. No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 1.4% , percentile 73: FIRST’s model estimates a 1.4% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 73% of all scored CVEs (moderate). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes wwbn/avideo (Composer (PHP)) <= 21.0.0, no fixed version listed . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. Prior to version 24.0, an unauthenticated SQL Injection vulnerability exists in AVideo within the objects/videos.json.php and objects/video.php components. The application fails to properly sanitize the catName parameter when it is supplied via a JSON-formatted POST request body. Because JSON input is parsed and merged into $REQUEST after global security checks are executed, the payload bypasses the existing sanitization mechanisms. This issue has been patched in version 24.0.

## Affected packages

- Composer (PHP) `wwbn/avideo` <= 21.0.0 → fixed: none listed

## Affected products (CVE record)

- WWBN AVideo: < 24.0

## Severity

- GitHub_M CVSS 3.1: 9.8 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`
- GitHub CVSS 3.1: 9.8 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none , automatable yes , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 1.42% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 73.
