Description
AVideo through commit c91b5975d contains a cross-site request forgery and path traversal vulnerability in stopLive.php that allows attackers to delete directories by exploiting missing token validation and unsanitized key parameter concatenation. Attackers can craft an image tag with a traversal payload like key=../../videos to trigger recursive deletion of the videos directory when an admin visits a malicious page.

AI Analysis

Impact

A vulnerability in the AVideo application (commit c91b5975d) allows an attacker to trigger a cross‑site request forgery and exploit an unsanitized key parameter. By sending an administrative user a crafted image tag that includes a traversal payload, the attacker can invoke stopLive.php, causing the script to delete directories such as the entire videos folder. This results in permanent data loss for the affected installation. The flaw corresponds to a path‑traversal weakness (CWE‑73).

Affected Systems

Administrators operating the WWBN AVideo platform may be affected when their installations contain the vulnerable commit c91b5975d. No specific version range is supplied, so any release that includes that commit without an update is at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.2, indicating high severity. EPSS is not available, so the current exploitation probability is unclear, and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can exploit it remotely through a CSRF vector. The vulnerability requires that an administrative user loads a malicious page containing the traversal‑enabled key value; once the request is processed, the script recursively removes directory contents, potentially crippling the platform.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade AVideo to a version that patches the stopLive.php CSRF and path traversal flaw.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict access to stopLive.php to authenticated administrators and enforce CSRF token validation.
  • Sanitize the 'key' input parameter to prevent path traversal, for example by enforcing a whitelist of allowed directory names and rejecting any value containing '..' or other traversal characters.
  • Implement monitoring or logging of delete operations on critical directories, and alert administrators if unexpected deletions occur.
