Description
WWBN AVideo before 29.5.0 contains a local file inclusion vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to include PHP files outside the locale directory via a crafted Accept-Language header. Attackers can use overlapping traversal sequences like ....// to bypass single-pass removal in setLanguage(), executing existing server-side PHP files in the application context.

AI Analysis

Impact

WWBN AVideo before version 29.5.0 is vulnerable to a local file inclusion flaw that can be triggered by an unauthenticated attacker sending a specially crafted Accept‑Language header. The header value is not properly sanitized and allows traversal sequences such as "../" to reference files outside the intended locale directory. If an existing PHP file is included, the attacker can execute that code within the context of the web application.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability impacts installations of WWBN AVideo for all releases preceding 29.5.0. Versions 29.5.0 and later contain a patch that removes the insecure handling of the Accept‑Language header.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 6.9 the flaw presents medium severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector requires only the ability to send an HTTP request with a crafted Accept‑Language header and does not require authentication, making exploitation straightforward for an attacker who can reach the target over HTTP.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update WWBN AVideo to version 29.5.0 or later to apply the vendor patch.
  • If an update is not immediately possible, configure the application or web server to ignore or strip the Accept‑Language header to prevent crafted values from reaching the codebase.
  • Restrict execution of PHP files in the locale directory by moving any sensitive files outside the document root or by using access controls such as .htaccess or server configuration to deny PHP execution in that area.
