Description
AVideo contains a missing authentication vulnerability in plugin/Live/on_publish.php that allows unauthenticated attackers to mark arbitrary scheduled broadcasts as failed by sending crafted POST requests with schedule identifiers. Attackers can exploit the unguarded RTMP callback endpoint to modify scheduled broadcast status fields by supplying fabricated stream keys matching the pattern -ps-<N>, silently canceling any scheduled live broadcast without credentials or authorization.

AI Analysis

Impact

A missing authentication check in the Live/on_publish.php plugin of AVideo allows attackers who can send crafted POST requests with schedule identifiers to mark any scheduled broadcast as failed, effectively canceling the broadcast and compromising the integrity and availability of scheduled live events.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability resides in the AVideo platform provided by WWBN. No specific version information is supplied, so any deployment that includes the affected on_publish.php endpoint and exposes it to network traffic is potentially impacted; the issue appears wherever the endpoint is accessible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates a high severity threat, and the EPSS score is not provided. Based on the description, it is inferred that the lack of authentication on the RTMP callback endpoint allows any host with network connectivity to the endpoint to craft and send POST requests to alter broadcast status. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack path is simple: forging stream keys that match the -ps-<N> pattern enables unauthenticated actors to cancel scheduled broadcasts from any network where the endpoint is reachable.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade AVideo to a patched release that implements authentication checks for the on_publish.php RTMP callback.
  • Restrict access to the on_publish.php endpoint so that only authenticated or trusted hosts can invoke it, using server‑level access controls or network firewalls.
  • Add input validation to the on_publish.php handler to reject malformed or fabricated schedule identifiers and stream keys that do not conform to the expected format.
