CVE-2026-33684

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. Prior to version 29.0, Privilege Escalation is possible through unguarded permission parameters in signUp API, which allows any user who can solve a CAPTCHA to self-grant elevated permissions during account registration. The set_api_signUp method in the API plugin accepts emailVerified, canUpload, canStream, and canCreateMeet parameters from user-supplied input and applies them to newly created accounts without verifying that the request was authenticated with a valid APISecret. By self-granting account attributes, attackers can mark their own accounts as email-verified without owning the address (bypassing email-gated functionality) and award themselves upload, streaming, and meeting-creation permissions, circumventing administrator access controls that intentionally restrict these capabilities for new users. This issue has been fixed in version 29.0

      "value": "WWBN AVideo es una plataforma de video de código abierto. Antes de la versión 29.0, la escalada de privilegios es posible a través de parámetros de permisos desprotegidos en la API de signUp, lo que permite a cualquier usuario que pueda resolver un CAPTCHA auto-otorgarse permisos elevados durante el registro de la cuenta. El método set_api_signUp en el plugin de la API acepta los parámetros emailVerified, canUpload, canStream y canCreateMeet de la entrada proporcionada por el usuario y los aplica a las cuentas recién creadas sin verificar que la solicitud fue autenticada con un APISecret válido. Al auto-otorgarse atributos de cuenta, los atacantes pueden marcar sus propias cuentas como verificadas por correo electrónico sin poseer la dirección (eludiendo la funcionalidad restringida por correo electrónico) y otorgarse a sí mismos permisos de carga, transmisión y creación de reuniones, eludiendo los controles de acceso del administrador que restringen intencionalmente estas capacidades para los nuevos usuarios. Este problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 29.0"
