CVE-2026-33488 Details
Description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the `createKeys()` function in the LoginControl plugin's PGP 2FA system generates 512-bit RSA keys, which have been publicly factorable since 1999. An attacker who obtains a target user's public key can factor the 512-bit RSA modulus on commodity hardware in hours, derive the complete private key, and decrypt any PGP 2FA challenge issued by the system — completely bypassing the second authentication factor. Additionally, the `generateKeys.json.php` and `encryptMessage.json.php` endpoints lack any authentication checks, exposing CPU-intensive key generation to anonymous users. Commit 00d979d87f8182095c8150609153a43f834e351e contains a patch.
A vulnerability in the LoginControl plugin of WWBN AVideo versions through 26.0 allows for bypassing PGP two-factor authentication (2FA). The issue arises because the 'createKeys()' function generates 512-bit RSA keys, which have been publicly factorable since 1999. An attacker who acquires a user's public key can easily factor the RSA modulus, derive the private key, and decrypt any PGP 2FA challenge, effectively nullifying the second authentication factor. Additionally, the 'generateKeys.json.php' and 'encryptMessage.json.php' endpoints lack authentication checks, exposing resource-intensive key generation to anonymous users.
Users should update to the patched version of the LoginControl plugin, which includes key generation with a minimum of 2048 bits and adds authentication to the previously unauthenticated endpoints. Instructions for updating the plugin can be found in the AVideo documentation.
