CVE-2026-33038 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade wwbn/avideo to version 26.0 or higher.
Overview
wwbn/avideo is an Audio and Video Platform or simply "A Video Platform".
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authentication for Critical Function in the checkConfiguration.php process. An attacker can gain full administrative control and manipulate the application's configuration by sending crafted POST requests to the exposed installer endpoint on uninitialized deployments. This allows the attacker to specify their own database host, set the admin password, and inject arbitrary configuration values, resulting in persistent compromise of the application and potential data exfiltration. This is only exploitable if the application has not yet been initialized and the videos/configuration.php file does not exist.
