Summary
CVE-2026-82645 is a critical improper-verification-of-cryptographic-signature vulnerability (CWE-347) in AVideo’s Live plugin. An unauthenticated attacker can forge a token accepted by the getLiveKey.json.php endpoint to retrieve any user’s external streaming credentials (stream key and URL for platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch). The flaw carries a CVSS v4.0 base score of 9.2 (Critical).
Technical details
- Root cause: the
getLiveKey.json.phpendpoint in the Live plugin (plugin/Live/view/Live_restreams/getLiveKey.json.php) accepts atokenrequest parameter that, when present, bypasses both theLive::canRestream()authorization gate and the restream ownership check. - The token is generated as
encryptString()of a plain integer ID, with no binding to a user, no expiration, and no authentication tag (MAC). - Encryption uses AES-256-CBC with a deterministic (fixed) initialization vector, and the server-side parser uses
intval(), which accepts any string beginning with a digit — enabling ciphertext manipulation. - The publicly reachable
url2Embed.json.phpendpoint functions as an encryption oracle, letting an attacker construct valid forged tokens without any credentials. - Attack vector: fully network-based, unauthenticated, no user interaction required.
- Impact: disclosure of another user’s
stream_keyandstream_url, allowing an attacker to broadcast to that user’s connected YouTube, Facebook, or Twitch channel under their identity. Researchers demonstrated retrieval of victim credentials in roughly 76 seconds using 269 unauthenticated requests.
Affected software
- WWBN AVideo, current commit
e01e41eccand all earlier versions (per vendor advisory; no version boundary or patched release has been published at this time).
Severity
- CVSS v4.0: 9.2 (Critical) —
CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:N/SA:N - CVSS v3.1: 8.6 (High) —
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: No patched version has been released yet. Monitor the vendor’s GitHub security advisory (GHSA-c4w3-h888-7ccv) for a fix and apply it as soon as it becomes available.
- Workarounds: Restrict or disable public access to the Live plugin’s restream endpoints (
getLiveKey.json.php,url2Embed.json.php) at the web server or reverse proxy layer until a patch ships; rotate all existing restream stream keys/URLs for connected platforms (YouTube, Facebook, Twitch); monitor authentication and Live plugin logs for repeated/rapid requests to these endpoints, which may indicate token-forging attempts.
