CVE-2026-33690
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedWWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the `getRealIpAddr()` function in `objects/functions.php` trusts user-controlled HTTP headers to determine the client's IP address. An attacker can spoof their IP address by sending forged headers, bypassing any IP-based access controls or audit logging. Commit 1a1df6a9377e5cc67d1d0ac8ef571f7abbffbc6c contains a patch.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedApply vendor patch commit 1a1df6a9377e5cc67d1d0ac8ef571f7abbffbc6c; if available, upgrade to release after 26.0 that includes this fix
- 1. Navigate to your AVideo installation directory
- 2. Backup the current `objects/functions.php` file
- 3. Apply the vendor patch from commit 1a1df6a9377e5cc67d1d0ac8ef571f7abbffbc6c, or manually review the commit to understand the fix and apply equivalent changes to the `getRealIpAddr()` function
- 4. The fix should modify `getRealIpAddr()` to not trust user-controlled HTTP headers (such as X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP, Client-IP) without proper validation, or to prioritize server-side reliable IP detection methods
- 5. Verify the patched function works correctly and does not break legitimate IP detection for your deployment configuration
- 6. Test that IP-based access controls and audit logging function correctly with the patched code
