CVE-2026-40929
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 29.0 and prior, `objects/commentDelete.json.php` is a state-mutating JSON endpoint that deletes comments but performs no CSRF validation. It does not call `forbidIfIsUntrustedRequest()`, does not verify a CSRF/global token, and does not check `Origin`/`Referer`. Because AVideo intentionally sets `session.cookie_samesite=None` (to support cross-origin embed players), a cross-site request from any attacker-controlled page automatically carries the victim's `PHPSESSID`. Any authenticated victim who has authority to delete one or more comments (site moderators, video owners, and comment authors) can be tricked into deleting comments en masse simply by visiting an attacker page. Commit 184f36b1896f3364f864f17c1acca3dd8df3af27 contains a fix.

"value": "WWBN AVideo es una plataforma de video de código abierto. En las versiones 29.0 y anteriores, objects/commentDelete.json.php es un endpoint JSON que muta el estado y elimina comentarios, pero no realiza validación CSRF. No llama a forbidIfIsUntrustedRequest(), no verifica un token CSRF/global y no comprueba Origin/Referer. Debido a que AVideo establece intencionalmente session.cookie_samesite=None (para admitir reproductores incrustados de origen cruzado), una solicitud de sitio cruzado desde cualquier página controlada por el atacante transporta automáticamente el PHPSESSID de la víctima. Cualquier víctima autenticada que tenga autoridad para eliminar uno o más comentarios (moderadores del sitio, propietarios de videos y autores de comentarios) puede ser engañada para eliminar comentarios en masa simplemente visitando una página del atacante. El commit 184f36b1896f3364f864f17c1acca3dd8df3af27 contiene una solución."
