AVideo has Authenticated Remote Code Execution via Unsafe Plugin ZIP Extraction
Summary
An authenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability was identified in AVideo related to the plugin upload/import functionality.
The issue allowed an authenticated administrator to upload a specially crafted ZIP archive containing executable server-side files. Due to insufficient validation of extracted file contents, the archive was extracted directly into a web-accessible plugin directory, allowing arbitrary PHP code execution.
Vulnerability Type
- Remote Code Execution (RCE)
- CWE-434: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type
Affected Versions
- All versions up to and including 22.x.
Fixed Version
- A fix is expected to be released in version 23.
Root Cause
The system validated only the ZIP extension of uploaded plugin packages but did not enforce a strict allowlist of file types within the archive. Extracted files were placed directly in a web-accessible directory without preventing execution of server-side scripts.
Impact
An authenticated administrator could execute arbitrary code on the server, resulting in full system compromise, including:
- Confidentiality loss
- Integrity loss
- Availability impact
Remediation
Upgrade immediately to AVideo version 23 or later.
Version 23 introduces improved validation and secure handling of plugin extraction.
Workarounds
If upgrade is not immediately possible:
- Disable plugin upload/import functionality.
- Configure the web server to prevent execution of PHP files inside plugin upload directories.
