Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 24 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Organizations using WWBN AVideo versions up to 26.0 should immediately upgrade to the fixed version containing commit 5fcb3bdf59f26d65e203cfbc8a685356ba300b60 or apply the patch that enforces proper authorization checks on the uploadPoster.php endpoint. In addition to patching, administrators should audit user permissions and monitor live stream poster changes for unusual activity. Implementing WebSocket traffic monitoring and filtering can help detect or block unauthorized broadcast key disclosures. Restricting access to the live stream management interface to trusted users and enforcing strong authentication mechanisms (e.g., multi-factor authentication) will reduce the risk of exploitation by compromised accounts. Organizations should also consider rotating broadcast keys if unauthorized disclosure is suspected. Finally, reviewing and hardening other endpoints for similar missing authorization issues is recommended to prevent analogous vulnerabilities.

Description

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the `plugin/Live/uploadPoster.php` endpoint allows any authenticated user to overwrite the poster image for any scheduled live stream by supplying an arbitrary `live_schedule_id`. The endpoint only checks `User::isLogged()` but never verifies that the authenticated user owns the targeted schedule. After overwriting the poster, the endpoint broadcasts a `socketLiveOFFCallback` notification containing the victim's broadcast key and user ID to all connected WebSocket clients. Commit 5fcb3bdf59f26d65e203cfbc8a685356ba300b60 fixes the issue.

Impact

The vulnerability allows authenticated users to overwrite poster images of any scheduled live stream, which can lead to unauthorized content manipulation and potential reputational damage for organizations relying on AVideo for live streaming. More critically, the broadcast of the victim's broadcast key and user ID to all connected WebSocket clients exposes sensitive credentials that could be leveraged to hijack live streams, impersonate users, or gain unauthorized access to private content. This leakage of broadcast keys undermines confidentiality and could facilitate further attacks such as unauthorized streaming or data exfiltration. Although the vulnerability does not affect availability directly, the integrity and confidentiality impacts can disrupt trust in the platform and lead to compliance issues, especially for organizations handling sensitive or proprietary video content. The requirement for authentication limits exploitation to users with valid credentials, but insider threats or compromised accounts could exploit this flaw. The medium CVSS score reflects moderate risk, but the exposure of broadcast keys elevates the potential impact beyond simple content defacement.

The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
Architecture and Design
Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
Architecture and Design
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
