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 · unedited
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 29.0 and below, the CORS origin validation fix in commit `986e64aad` is incomplete. Two separate code paths still reflect arbitrary `Origin` headers with credentials allowed for all `/api/*` endpoints: (1) `plugin/API/router.php` lines 4-8 unconditionally reflect any origin before application code runs, and (2) `allowOrigin(true)` called by `get.json.php` and `set.json.php` reflects any origin with `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true`. An attacker can make cross-origin credentialed requests to any API endpoint and read authenticated responses containing user PII, email, admin status, and session-sensitive data. Commit 5e2b897ccac61eb6daca2dee4a6be3c4c2d93e13 contains a fix.

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.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Any release newer than 29.0 containing commit 5e2b897ccac61eb6daca2dee4a6be3c4c2d93e13

  1. Confirm current AVideo version is 29.0 or below by checking the version file or admin dashboard
  2. Backup the entire AVideo installation directory and database before upgrading
  3. Download or pull the latest stable release of AVideo from the official repository (https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo)
  4. Replace the existing installation files with the new version, preserving configuration files and the database
  5. Verify that the CORS fix from commit 5e2b897ccac61eb6daca2dee4a6be3c4c2d93e13 is applied by reviewing plugin/API/router.php and the relevant JSON handler files
  6. Test API endpoints with arbitrary Origin headers to confirm the vulnerability is remediated
  7. Clear any cached data and restart web server services if required
Caveat Minor: Review custom plugins and API integrations for compatibility with the new version, as CORS handling changes may affect cross-origin request behavior
