Summary
CVE-2026-86727 is a missing-authentication vulnerability (CWE-306) in WWBN AVideo through version 29.0, located in the plugin/Live/stats.json.php endpoint. An unauthenticated remote attacker can query this endpoint to obtain live-stream keys and m3u8 stream URLs, and can enumerate private or restricted streams via the hidden_applications array returned in the JSON response. The issue carries a HIGH severity rating.
Technical details
- Root cause:
plugin/Live/stats.json.phpdoes not enforce any authentication or authorization check before returning stream statistics data. - Trigger condition: sending a direct HTTP request to the endpoint with no session, credentials, or token.
- Attack vector: network-based, no user interaction or privileges required.
- Impact: disclosure of stream keys and m3u8 URLs, allowing an attacker to view, hijack, or redistribute live streams; the
hidden_applicationsarray also allows enumeration of streams intended to be private, unlisted, or group-restricted.
Affected software
- WWBN AVideo, versions 0 through 29.0 (inclusive).
Severity
- CVSS score: 8.7
- Vector:
CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: upgrade AVideo to a version newer than 29.0 that restores authentication checks on
plugin/Live/stats.json.php; verify with the vendor’s GitHub security advisories for the specific fixed release. - If no patch is available yet: restrict access to
plugin/Live/stats.json.phpat the web server or reverse proxy/WAF level (e.g., block or require authentication for this path), rotate any stream keys that may have been exposed, and monitor access logs for unauthenticated requests to Live plugin JSON endpoints.
