CVE-2026-40926
No affected components available
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 29.0 and prior, three admin-only JSON endpoints — objects/categoryAddNew.json.php, objects/categoryDelete.json.php, and objects/pluginRunUpdateScript.json.php — enforce only a role check (Category::canCreateCategory() / User::isAdmin()) and perform state-changing actions against the database without calling isGlobalTokenValid() or forbidIfIsUntrustedRequest(). Peer endpoints in the same directory (pluginSwitch.json.php, pluginRunDatabaseScript.json.php) do enforce the CSRF token, so the missing checks are an omission rather than a design choice. An attacker who lures a logged-in admin to a malicious page can create, update, or delete categories and force execution of any installed plugin's updateScript() method in the admin's session. Commit ee5615153c40628ab3ec6fe04962d1f92e67d3e2 contains a fix.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker does not need any special privileges or access rights. The attacker needs the user to perform some action, like clicking a link. The impact is confined to the system where the vulnerability exists. There is a high impact on the integrity of the data. There is a low impact on the availability of the system.
Exploitation attempts have been detected. Elevated vigilance and prompt remediation are advised.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
