AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should immediately upgrade WWBN AVideo to version 24.0 or later, where the issue is patched. Until the upgrade can be performed, implement web application firewall (WAF) rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'catName' parameter in JSON POST requests. Review and harden input validation mechanisms to ensure JSON inputs are sanitized before merging into $_REQUEST or similar global variables. Disable or restrict access to the affected endpoints (objects/videos.json.php and objects/video.php) from untrusted networks if possible. Conduct thorough code audits to verify no other parameters or endpoints are vulnerable to similar injection flaws. Additionally, monitor application logs for suspicious SQL syntax or unexpected database errors that could indicate exploitation attempts. Employ database least privilege principles to limit the impact of any successful injection.

Description

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. Prior to version 24.0, an unauthenticated SQL Injection vulnerability exists in AVideo within the objects/videos.json.php and objects/video.php components. The application fails to properly sanitize the catName parameter when it is supplied via a JSON-formatted POST request body. Because JSON input is parsed and merged into $_REQUEST after global security checks are executed, the payload bypasses the existing sanitization mechanisms. This issue has been patched in version 24.0.
