CVE-2026-43873 Details
Description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 29.0, plugin/CloneSite/cloneClient.json.php echoes the local CloneSite shared secret ($objClone->myKey, a constant md5($global['systemRootPath'] . $global['salt'])) into the HTTP response body on every unauthenticated request. The unauthenticated error branch was intended to reject non-admin callers without a valid key, but the rejection message interpolates the expected key before die(). When the victim has CloneSite configured with a remote cloneSiteURL (standard federation/backup setup), the leaked myKey is exactly the credential that authenticates the victim to that remote server's cloneServer.json.php, allowing the attacker to impersonate the victim and trigger a full mysqldump of the remote's database to the remote's public videos/clones/ directory Commit e6566f56a28f4556b2a0a09d03717a719dcb49da contains an updated fix.
A vulnerability in WWBN AVideo versions through 29.0 allows for the unauthenticated disclosure of the CloneSite shared secret, 'myKey', via an error message in 'plugin/CloneSite/cloneClient.json.php'. This leaked key can be used to impersonate the victim on a remote CloneSite server, triggering a full database dump of the remote server's database to a public directory.
The vulnerability has been patched in commit e6566f56a28f4556b2a0a09d03717a719dcb49da, which sanitizes the CloneSite key validation by removing the interpolation of the 'myKey' in the error response. Additionally, it is recommended to replace the static 'myKey' with a randomly generated key that can be rotated, and to implement measures on the remote server to secure the database dump process.
