CVE-2026-40928
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
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.

"value": "WWBN AVideo es una plataforma de video de código abierto. En las versiones 29.0 y anteriores, múltiples endpoints JSON de AVideo bajo “objects/” aceptan solicitudes que cambian el estado a través de “$_REQUEST”/“$_GET” y persisten los cambios vinculados al usuario de la sesión del llamante, sin ningún token anti-CSRF, verificación de origen o verificación de referer. Una página maliciosa visitada por una víctima que ha iniciado sesión puede silenciosamente emitir/cambiar el ’me gusta’/’no me gusta’ de la víctima en cualquier comentario (“objects/comments_like.json.php”), publicar un comentario escrito por la víctima en cualquier video, con texto elegido por el atacante (“objects/commentAddNew.json.php”), y/o eliminar activos de cualquier categoría (“objects/categoryDeleteAssets.json.php”) cuando la víctima tiene derechos de gestión de categorías. Cada endpoint es accesible desde un navegador a través de una simple etiqueta “<img src=“...”>” o envío de formulario, por lo que la explotación solo requiere que la víctima cargue un recurso HTML controlado por el atacante. El commit 7aaad601bd9cd7b993ba0ee1b1bea6c32ee7b77c contiene una corrección."
