CVE-2026-45578 Details
Description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In 29.0 and earlier, there is a classic shell-metacharacter injection. The YPTSocket notification branch in plugin/Live/on_publish.php builds an execAsync() command line by string concatenation, single-quoting each argument but never calling escapeshellarg(). A ' in any of the three interpolated values ($users_id, $m3u8, $obj->liveTransmitionHistory_id) closes the quoted token and lets the attacker append arbitrary commands.
A shell metacharacter injection vulnerability has been identified in WWBN AVideo versions through 29.0. The issue arises in the YPTSocket notification branch of the Live plugin, specifically in the 'on_publish.php' file. The vulnerability allows attackers to inject arbitrary commands by exploiting unescaped variables that are concatenated into a command line for execution. This flaw is particularly concerning as it enables pre-authentication remote code execution on the server.
Users are advised to update to a version of WWBN AVideo that has addressed this vulnerability by properly escaping shell arguments. Additionally, 'on_publish.php' should be restricted to local access only, preventing public reachability.
