WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform.

CVSS 9.1 Critical EPSS 0.6% · p46

Should you act?

Critical and remotely reachable

No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. This signal is computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS data; it is not an editorial verdict.

  • Not in CISA KEV, but CISA’s SSVC assessment records a public proof-of-concept, so attack code exists.
  • EPSS 0.6%, percentile 46: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.6% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 46% of all scored CVEs (low). 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)) <= 26.0, no fixed version listed. Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

What it is

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. Prior to version 26.0, a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in plugin/Live/standAloneFiles/saveDVR.json.php. When the AVideo Live plugin is deployed in standalone mode (the intended configuration for this file), the $REQUEST['webSiteRootURL'] parameter is used directly to construct a URL that is fetched server-side via filegetcontents(). No authentication, origin validation, or URL allowlisting is performed. Version 26.0 contains a patch for the issue.
