Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in WWBN AVideo-Encoder up to 7.x. This affects the function getSqlFromPost of the file Object.php of the component POST Request Handler. The manipulation of the argument sort with an unknown input leads to a sql injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-89. The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

AVideo is a video-sharing Platform. Versions prior to 8.0 contain a SQL Injection vulnerability in the getSqlFromPost() method of Object.php. The $_POST['sort'] array keys are used directly as SQL column identifiers inside an ORDER BY clause. Although real_escape_string() was applied, it only escapes string-context characters (quotes, null bytes) and provides no protection for SQL identifiers — making it entirely ineffective here. This issue has been fixed in version 8.0. To workaround this issue without upgrading, operators can apply a WAF rule to block POST requests where any sort[*] key contains characters outside [A-Za-z0-9_]. Alternatively, restrict access to the queue view (queue.json.php, index.php) to trusted IP ranges only.

The advisory is shared at github.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-33025 since 03/17/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1505 for this issue.

By approaching the search of inurl:Object.php it is possible to find vulnerable targets with Google Hacking.

Upgrading to version 8.0 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch d1c8a17ac88b5e27da9dfb7a230bbaf54aa53124 is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at github.com. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.
