Description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 29.0, the unauthenticated plugin/Scheduler/downloadICS.php endpoint passes attacker-controlled title, description, and joinURL parameters into Scheduler::downloadICS(), which builds an ICS calendar file via the ICS helper class. ICS::escape_string() (objects/ICS.php:167-169) only escapes , and ; and does NOT neutralize CR/LF, so attacker CRLF bytes inside a property value break out and inject arbitrary ICS lines — including END:VEVENT / BEGIN:VEVENT pairs that add entire attacker-controlled calendar events. Because the malicious .ics file is served from the victim's trusted AVideo origin, this enables high-credibility calendar phishing: forged meetings with attacker-chosen SUMMARY, URL, LOCATION, and DESCRIPTION landing in the victim's calendar after import. Commit 764db592f99e545aa86bb9a4ad664ffd14c38ba5 contains an updated fix.

Impact

Unauthenticated input to the Scheduler/downloadICS.php endpoint is concatenated into an ics file without adequate escaping. The escape routine only neutralizes commas and semicolons, leaving carriage‑return and line‑feed bytes risky. An attacker can embed CRLF sequences that terminate a property value and inject entirely new ics lines, including BEGIN:VEVENT and END:VEVENT pairs. The resulting malicious ics file can be served from the trusted AVideo origin, allowing an attacker to insert forged calendar events that appear legitimate to the victim, potentially causing the victim to accept phishing invitations or schedule unintended meetings.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability afflicts WWBN AVideo versions up to and including 29.0. The affected component is the Scheduler plugin, specifically the downloadICS.php script that invokes Scheduler::downloadICS() and the underlying ics helper’s escape routine.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates moderate severity; however, the vulnerability permits an attacker to create high‑credibility calendar events that the victim may accept after import, representing a targeted social‑engineering risk. The EPSS score is not available, and the entry is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, suggesting limited evidence of exploitation yet. The attack vector is inferred to be via a direct HTTP request to a publicly exposed endpoint, using crafted query parameters to inject malicious CRLF sequences.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the patch that updates the escape routine – commit 764db592f99e545aa86bb9a4ad664ffd14c38ba5 – or upgrade to any AVideo release newer than 29.0 that incorporates this fix.
  • Disable or secure the Scheduler/downloadICS.php endpoint by requiring authentication or removing it from the production environment until a patch is applied.
  • Verify that the calendar export feature no longer accepts unauthenticated requests, and enforce strict input validation that rejects embedded CR/LF characters before constructing ics files.
