Description
AVideo contains an unauthenticated arbitrary file write vulnerability in the aVideoEncoderChunk.json.php endpoint that allows remote attackers to write up to 4 GB of arbitrary content to the server filesystem via HTTP PUT requests without authentication. Attackers can exhaust disk space causing denial of service, poison the video encoding pipeline, or chain this with local file inclusion to achieve remote code execution.

AI Analysis

Impact

An unauthenticated arbitrary file write flaw allows attackers to write up to 4 GB of content to the filesystem through HTTP PUT requests against the aVideoEncoderChunk.json.php endpoint. The weakness, classified as CWE‑306, permits the creation or overwriting of arbitrary files, which can exhaust disk space, corrupt the video encoding process, or serve as a stepping stone to local file inclusion attacks that may lead to remote code execution.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the WWBN AVideo platform across a range of releases, specifically versions 14.2, 14.3, 14.3.1, 14.4, 18.0, 21.0, 22.0, 24.0, 25.0, 26.0, and 29.0. All CPE entries for these versions are impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 6.9 and no EPSS data, the potential for exploitation remains high in environments where the endpoint is publicly reachable. The flaw is accessed via an unauthenticated HTTP PUT request; because authentication is not required, attackers can readily submit payloads. Successful exploitation can cause denial of service by filling disk space, degrade service functionality, or, if combined with local file inclusion, enable remote code execution. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, but the lack of a defensive barrier makes it a credible threat.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the official patch released by WWBN for AVideo, which removes or secures the aVideoEncoderChunk.json.php endpoint; the commit referenced in the advisory updates the logic to require authentication for write operations.
  • Configure the web application firewall or reverse proxy to block or reject HTTP PUT and DELETE requests to /aVideoEncoderChunk.json.php unless a valid authentication token is provided.
  • As a temporary measure, manually remove or rename the aVideoEncoderChunk.json.php file from the web root or alter directory permissions so that the web server can no longer write to it.
