Summary
The WWBN AVideo product, through version 29.7.1 (version omitted per rules), has an incorrect authorization flaw that lets a delegated Videos Admin user obtain video_id_hash values tied to other owners' videos, including administrator-owned ones. An attacker who already holds that delegated admin access over the network can replay such a hash to log in without a password and gain plugin upload, configuration, and user management rights.

Read the original description
WWBN AVideo through 29.7.1 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability that allows delegated Videos Admin users to obtain video_id_hash values bound to any video owner via encoder endpoints like aVideoEncoderStatus.json.php. Attackers can request the hash for an administrator-owned video and replay it through useVideoHashOrLogin() for password-less login, gaining plugin upload, configuration, and user management access.
Who should check
Teams running WWBN AVideo through 29.7.1 with the Permissions plugin and Videos Admin group permissions

Fixed versions: none listed yet.
Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit):
- The attacker holds a non-administrator account with the delegated Videos Admin permission (source: https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-8wjr-gw73-9f2g)
- The Permissions plugin is enabled, which is the default (source: https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-8wjr-gw73-9f2g)

CISA KEV: CVE-2026-126805 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-126805 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.
How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.
Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:

Questions about CVE-2026-126805
Is CVE-2026-126805 being exploited?
It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
What does this mean?
A non-administrator account with the delegated Videos Admin permission can escalate its privileges to a full site administrator session. That session can also log in as other video owners.Source: github.com
Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-126805?
AVideo: through 29.7.1.Source: cve.now feed data
Am I affected, and how do I check?
Versions up to and including 29.7.1 of WWBN AVideo are in scope. The bug needs the Permissions plugin enabled, which is the default, and a non-administrator account holding the delegated Videos Admin permission. To check, compare the installed version against 29.7.1, confirm whether the Permissions plugin is enabled, and review which accounts hold Videos Admin.Source: github.com
How do I fix CVE-2026-126805?
The checked facts do not name a fixed release, so no upgrade target can be given from them. Check the vendor's advisory for a release newer than 29.7.1 and upgrade to it once it is confirmed.Source: github.com
