WWBN AVideo has an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-33502: Command Injection

  • Veröffentlicht: 14.04.2026
  • Aktualisiert: 11.10.2026 10:22

Summary

The incomplete fix for AVideo's test.php adds escapeshellarg for wget but leaves the file_get_contents and curl code paths unsanitized, and the URL validation regex /^http/ accepts strings like httpevil.com.

Affected Package

  • Ecosystem: Other
  • Package: AVideo
  • Affected versions: < commit 1e6cf03e93b5
  • Patched versions: >= commit 1e6cf03e93b5

Details

The vulnerable wget() function in plugin/Live/test.php:

php
function wget($url, $filename) {
    $cmd = "wget --tries=1 {$url} -O {$filename} --no-check-certificate";
    exec($cmd);
}

Neither $url nor $filename is passed through escapeshellarg(). The URL validation uses preg_match("/^http/", $url) which:

  • Does not require :// (matches httpevil.com)
  • Does not block shell metacharacters (;, backticks, $())
  • Does not validate the URL is actually a URL

A payload like http://x; id > /tmp/pwned; echo passes the regex and injects arbitrary commands via the semicolons.

The fix adds escapeshellarg() for the wget path and an isAllowedStatsTestURL allowlist, but url_get_contents() (used by the same endpoint) still follows redirects without validation. The wget-specific fix does not protect the file_get_contents and curl code paths that handle the same user-supplied URL.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. git clone https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo /tmp/AVideo_test
  2. cd /tmp/AVideo_test && git checkout 1e6cf03e93b5a5318204b010ea28440b0d9a5ab3~1
  3. python3 poc.py

Expected output:

bash
VULNERABILITY CONFIRMED
wget() uses unsanitized $url in shell command via exec(), and the URL regex /^http/ is too weak to prevent injection.

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can achieve remote code execution on the AVideo server by sending a crafted URL to plugin/Live/test.php that injects shell commands via semicolons or backticks in the wget command line. This grants full server compromise -- the attacker can read database credentials, install backdoors, or pivot to internal systems.

Suggested Remediation

  1. Use escapeshellarg() on both $url and $filename in the wget() function.
  2. Strengthen the URL regex to require ^https?:// and reject shell metacharacters.
  3. Add authentication (User::isAdmin()) to the test.php endpoint.
  4. Apply escapeshellarg() consistently across all code paths (wget, curl, file_get_contents).
