Description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 26.0 and prior, the player skin configuration endpoint at admin/playerUpdate.json.php does not validate CSRF tokens. The plugins table is explicitly excluded from the ORM's domain-based security check via ignoreTableSecurityCheck(), removing the only other layer of defense. Combined with SameSite=None cookies, a cross-origin POST can modify the video player appearance on the entire platform.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability in the AVideo platform allows an attacker to change the player skin configuration via a CSRF attack. The admin/playerUpdate.json.php endpoint lacks CSRF validation and the ORM security check is suppressed for the plugins table, while cookies use SameSite=None. This enables a malicious cross-origin POST to alter the appearance of the video player for all platform users.

Affected Systems

Systems affected are all installations of WWBN AVideo version 26.0 or earlier. Administrators can unintentionally expose the platform to defacement through the compromised endpoint.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 4.3 the risk is moderate. The absence of an EPSS score and lack of presence in KEV suggest limited evidence of active exploitation, though the attack path is straightforward and requires only a victim admin on the same origin. Operators should prefer a patch over a work‑around.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to AVideo 27.0 or later.
  • If a quick update is not possible, disable or protect the admin/playerUpdate.json.php endpoint by requiring a valid CSRF token.
  • Configure session cookies to use SameSite=Lax or SameSite=Strict to prevent cross-origin requests.
  • Monitor for unauthorized skin changes in the platform.
