CVE-2026-59808AVideo Authentication Bypass via Unkeyed Video Hash Disclosure
High 8.8
In plain English
A high-severity missing authentication in AVideo from WWBN. Proof-of-concept exploit code is public. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.4% (higher than 36% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
AVideo through commit 9c39d8c8 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability where deduplicateByEncoderQueueId() returns video_id_hash credentials for any video by encoder_queue_id without ownership verification, and useVideoHashOrLogin() converts this hash into passwordless login as the video owner. Attackers with upload permission can retrieve an administrator's video_id_hash by omitting the videos_id parameter, then use that hash in an unauthenticated request to gain administrative session access and modify system configuration.
