Description
WWBN AVideo fails to validate trusted proxies before accepting X-Real-IP and X-Forwarded-For headers, allowing attackers to spoof the client address used by enforceRateLimit(). Attackers can rotate the header value per request to bypass login rate limiting and perform unlimited credential guessing attacks.

Impact

WWBN AVideo does not validate trusted proxies before accepting the X-Real-IP and X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers. The missing proxy validation allows an attacker to spoof the client address that the enforceRateLimit() function uses, enabling unlimited credential guessing. This flaw is a classic authentication bypass and is classified as CWE-290. Attackers can rotate the header on every request to avoid rate limiting, leading to a brute‑force attack surface that can compromise user accounts.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the WWBN:AVideo product. No specific version information is listed, so all deployed instances should be considered potentially impacted until a patch is confirmed to apply to the target environment.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 indicates high severity, and while no EPSS score is available, the vulnerability is not yet present in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is remote: an attacker can send regular HTTP requests with a crafted X‑Real‑IP header to bypass rate limits. Proper proxy validation and application of the vendor patch are required to mitigate the risk.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Configure the web server or application to ignore X-Real-IP and X-Forwarded-For headers unless the request originates from a known, trusted proxy.
  • Enforce rate limiting based on the actual client IP address instead of a potentially spoofable header.
  • Apply any available vendor patch or upgrade to the latest AVideo release that fixes the proxy validation issue.
