CVE-2026-126805 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.2 · Published 2026-11-11

WWBN AVideo is a video hosting and management platform. A delegated Videos Admin user can exploit an authorization flaw in encoder status endpoints to obtain video hash values for any video, including those owned by administrators. These hashes can be replayed to gain passwordless login and obtain full administrative access including plugin upload, configuration, and user management capabilities.

## Technical details

The vulnerability is an authorization bypass in the EncoderJobStatus.php inspect() method and related encoder endpoints (aVideoEncoderStatus.json.php). Delegated Videos Admin users can request video_id_hash values for videos they should not access, including admin-owned videos. The hash can then be replayed through useVideoHashOrLogin() to gain unauthenticated privileged access. This requires the attacker to have delegated Videos Admin role but grants escalation to full administrator privileges.
