CVE-2026-126809 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.1 · Published 2026-11-11

WWBN AVideo is a video hosting and management platform. An authenticated user with upload permissions can copy private, unlisted, password-protected or pay-per-view videos from other users' folders, read associated metadata files, list video files, and delete other users' media without authorization. This allows attackers to steal or destroy video content belonging to other users on the same instance.

## Technical details

The import.json.php and listFiles.json.php endpoints check only that a user can upload (User::canUpload()), without verifying ownership of the target files or directories. An authenticated uploader can supply arbitrary paths within the videos/ directory to copy files via import.json.php, read .txt/.html sidecar files as descriptions, and optionally delete source files. The listFiles.json.php endpoint similarly lists all MP4 files under any accessible subdirectory without ownership checks.
