Description
WWBN AVideo before 29.4.0 contains a blind server-side request forgery vulnerability in getHeaderContentTypeFromURL() because get_headers() follows redirects without re-validating targets with isSSRFSafeURL(). Authenticated uploaders can store a videoLink pointing to a redirector, causing internal GET requests when visitors view the video, enabling internal port scanning via the embed-versus-video render oracle.

Impact

WWBN AVideo before 29.4.0 contains a blind SSRF flaw in the getHeaderContentTypeFromURL() routine, as get_headers() follows redirects without re‑validating the target URL. An authenticated uploader may place a videoLink that points to a redirector; when a visitor renders the video, the application issues an internal GET request through the redirect chain, enabling the attacker to probe internal hosts and ports via an embed versus video render oracle. The payload does not provide direct code execution but allows internal network reconnaissance and potential exploitation of exposed services.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects all installations of WWBN AVideo version 29.4.0 or earlier. The flaw is only exploitable by users who have upload privileges within the AVideo platform; no specific operating system or server configuration is required beyond the presence of the vulnerable software.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 reflects a medium severity flaw. While the EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in KEV, the attack requires an authenticated uploader to configure a redirecting videoLink and a site visitor to trigger the request. Consequently, exploitation probability is moderate, and the risk is primarily confined to internal network reconnaissance. System administrators should treat this as a medium‑risk issue pending a patch or effective mitigation.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update AVideo to version 29.4.0 or later, where the SSRF protection has been added.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, modify the videoLink handling logic to reject or block URLs that result in redirects, ensuring that get_headers does not follow redirects automatically.
  • Restrict upload permissions to only trusted administrators or delete existing video links that point to external redirectors.
  • Implement monitoring of outbound HTTP requests from the AVideo application to detect unexpected internal network traffic.
