Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in WWBN AVideo up to 26.0 and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is the function isSSRFSafeURL of the file plugin/LiveLinks/proxy.php of the component IPv6 Address Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a server-side request forgery vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-918. The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. Impacted is confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the `isSSRFSafeURL()` function in AVideo can be bypassed using IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses (`::ffff:x.x.x.x`). The unauthenticated `plugin/LiveLinks/proxy.php` endpoint uses this function to validate URLs before fetching them with curl, but the IPv4-mapped IPv6 prefix passes all checks, allowing an attacker to access cloud metadata services, internal networks, and localhost services. Commit 75ce8a579a58c9d4c7aafe453fbced002cb8f373 contains a patch.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-33480 since 03/20/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit.
