Description
AVideo through 29.0 contains a blind server-side request forgery vulnerability in the getHeaderContentTypeFromURL function that issues get_headers() calls guarded only by format validation. Authenticated users with canUpload permission can store attacker-chosen URLs as video links, triggering vulnerable function execution on every video watch page render to probe internal hosts using content-type oracles and timing-based detection.

Impact

AVideo versions up to 29.0 have a blind SSRF flaw in the getHeaderContentTypeFromURL helper. The function issues get_headers() for supplied URLs without proper authorization checks, relying only on format validation. An attacker with the canUpload privilege can embed arbitrary URLs as video links. When a attacker‑chosen target is requested, the vulnerable function execution probes internal hosts using content‑type oracles and timing‑based detection. The flaw is a CWE‑918 weakness and allows covert visits to internal destinations by an authenticated user, exposing internal network resources without elevated privileges.

Affected Systems

The affected product is WWBN:AVideo, all releases through version 29.0. The vulnerability appears in the getHeaderContentTypeFromURL routine older releases are not impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score of < 1% suggests that the likelihood of this vulnerability being exploited in the wild is very low. This vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers would need to obtain authenticated upload rights; once held, they can exercise SSRF against any internal host reachable from the web server. The lack of outbound restrictions permits probing by content‑type oracles and timing, providing valuable network reconnaissance. Given these conditions, the risk is moderate but significant for systems exposed to an internal network or hosting sensitive endpoints.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Deploy the latest AVideo release that removes or sanitizes the vulnerable getHeaderContentTypeFromURL call.
  • Revoke or remove the canUpload permission from user accounts that do not require it, limiting who can insert arbitrary URLs.
  • Configure the server to block outbound HTTP/HTTPS requests to internal networks, or implement a firewall rule that restricts outbound connections from the AVideo process to only approved destinations.
