CVE-2026-34738 Details
Description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 26.0 and prior, AVideo's video processing pipeline accepts an overrideStatus request parameter that allows any uploader to set a video's status to any valid state, including "active" (a). This bypasses the admin-controlled moderation and draft workflows. The setStatus() method validates the status code against a list of known values but does not verify that the caller has permission to set that particular status. As a result, any user with upload permissions can publish videos directly, circumventing content review processes. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.
A vulnerability in WWBN AVideo versions through 26.0 allows users with upload permissions to bypass the platform's content moderation workflow. The issue arises from the video processing pipeline, which accepts an 'overrideStatus' request parameter. This parameter enables uploaders to set a video's status to 'active', directly publishing it without admin review. The 'setStatus()' method validates status codes against a predefined list but fails to check if the user has the right to assign a specific status. Consequently, any uploader can manipulate video statuses, undermining content review processes and potentially violating platform policies or legal regulations.
To address this vulnerability, implement an authorization check to ensure that only administrators or users with video management permissions can use the 'overrideStatus' parameter to change a video's status. Regular uploaders should be required to follow the standard moderation process.
