CVE-2026-124424 Details
Description
WWBN AVideo contains a path traversal vulnerability in plugin/AI/receiveAsync.json.php that allows holders of any valid AI token to write arbitrary .vtt files by injecting traversal sequences into the unsanitized response[lang] parameter. Attackers can send a type=translation request with a crafted lang value to plant attacker-controlled content in the webroot or overwrite other users' subtitle files.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in WWBN AVideo, specifically in the plugin/AI/receiveAsync.json.php file. This vulnerability allows holders of any valid AI token to write arbitrary .vtt files by injecting traversal sequences into the unsanitized response[lang] parameter. Attackers can send a type=translation request with a crafted lang value to place attacker-controlled content in the webroot or overwrite other users' subtitle files.
It is recommended to validate the response[lang] parameter against a whitelist before processing it. Additionally, enforcing token expiry and binding tokens to the authenticated user and video owner at the time of use can help mitigate this vulnerability.
