CVE-2026-43879 Details
Description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 29.0, an authenticated user can configure their own donation-notification webhook URL to point at internal/loopback/metadata hosts (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8080/..., http://169.254.169.254/latest/..., RFC1918 addresses). When any other user (including a second account owned by the same attacker) donates even a trivial amount via plugin/CustomizeUser/donate.json.php, the AVideo server issues a curl POST to the attacker-supplied URL, resulting in a blind SSRF. The handler uses only isValidURL() (which is a format check) and does not call the codebase's own isSSRFSafeURL() helper. Additionally, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled with no per-hop revalidation, so even if the stored URL were validated, an HTTP 307 from an attacker-controlled host could redirect the POST to internal targets. Commit aaacd48f29f1ff71d1eb5fc81d37605f593cefa9 contains an updated fix.
A blind server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability has been identified in WWBN AVideo versions through 29.0. This issue allows an authenticated user to configure a donation notification webhook URL that points to internal or loopback addresses. When another user donates, the AVideo server sends a POST request to the specified URL, exploiting the lack of proper URL validation and redirect handling. The vulnerability could be used to access internal network resources or cloud metadata endpoints.
Users are advised to update to the patched version of AVideo, which includes a proper fix for this vulnerability. The latest version can be obtained from the official AVideo repository.
