CVE-2026-40928 Details
Description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 29.0 and prior, multiple AVideo JSON endpoints under `objects/` accept state-changing requests via `$_REQUEST`/`$_GET` and persist changes tied to the caller's session user, without any anti-CSRF token, origin check, or referer check. A malicious page visited by a logged-in victim can silently cast/flip the victim's like/dislike on any comment (`objects/comments_like.json.php`), post a comment authored by the victim on any video, with attacker-chosen text (`objects/commentAddNew.json.php`), and/or delete assets from any category (`objects/categoryDeleteAssets.json.php`) when the victim has category management rights. Each endpoint is reachable from a browser via a simple `<img src="…">` tag or form submission, so exploitation only requires the victim to load an attacker-controlled HTML resource. Commit 7aaad601bd9cd7b993ba0ee1b1bea6c32ee7b77c contains a fix.
A vulnerability exists in WWBN AVideo versions through 29.0, where multiple JSON endpoints under 'objects/' lack proper Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection. These endpoints accept state-changing requests via '$_REQUEST' or '$_GET', and persist changes tied to the user's session without any anti-CSRF token, origin check, or referer check. This vulnerability allows a logged-in user to be manipulated into liking or disliking comments, posting comments on videos, or deleting assets from categories if they have management rights. Exploitation can be done by loading an attacker-controlled HTML resource, such as an image or form submission, in the context of the victim's session.
Users are advised to update to the latest version of WWBN AVideo, where this vulnerability has been addressed. Instructions for updating can be found in the AVideo documentation.
