Description
WWBN AVideo contains a path traversal vulnerability in notify.ffmpeg.json.php that allows unauthenticated attackers to write files to arbitrary locations by supplying a caller-chosen path in the avideoRelativePath parameter. Attackers can replay any previously issued ciphertext as a notifyCode token, which is decrypted but never validated, to bypass authentication and write files to the application root and subdirectories.

Impact

WWBN AVideo contains a path traversal flaw in notify.ffmpeg.json.php that lets anyone craft an avideoRelativePath parameter to write a file to any location inside the application’s file system. The notifyCode token that provides authentication is decrypted but never validated, so attackers can replay a previously issued ciphertext to bypass all access checks. By creating or overwriting files in the application root or subdirectories, an attacker can drop scripts, configuration files or other malicious payloads that are then executable through the web server or the AV application, giving full remote code execution capabilities.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects installations of the WWBN AVideo platform, regardless of version. Specific version data is not supplied in the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.3 categorises this flaw as critical, indicating a high likelihood of successful exploitation and severe impact. The EPSS score is not available, so the current probability of active exploitation is unknown, but the absence of a KEV listing does not reduce the potential threat. Given the unauthenticated nature of the attack and the ability to write arbitrary files, the likely attack vector is a remote HTTP request to the vulnerable endpoint, with no prerequisite authentication. The exploitation requires only sending an HTTP request containing a crafted avideoRelativePath and replayed notifyCode token, after which any file, including executable code, can be placed in the application’s file system.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check the vendor’s website and reputable security advisories for an official patch or upgrade path for WWBN AVideo.
  • Apply the available patch or upgrade to the latest AVideo release as soon as it becomes available.
  • If an immediate patch is not available, mitigate by restricting network access to notify.ffmpeg.json.php to trusted hosts only and disabling or enforcing authentication for notifyCode processing if possible.
  • Validate and sanitize the avideoRelativePath input to eliminate any directory traversal sequences before processing the write operation.
  • Remove or disable any functionality that allows unvalidated file writes if that feature is not required for normal operation.
