# CVE-2026-34738: AVideo: Video Publishing Workflow Bypass via Unauthorized overrideStatus Request Parameter

- Also known as: GHSA-M577-W9J8-CH7J
- Severity: CVSS 4.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2026-03-31 · Updated: 2026-04-01

## Affected

- WWBN AVideo: through 26.0
- wwbn/avideo (Packagist): through 26.0

## Description

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 26.0 and prior, AVideo's video processing pipeline accepts an overrideStatus request parameter that allows any uploader to set a video's status to any valid state, including "active" (a). This bypasses the admin-controlled moderation and draft workflows. The setStatus() method validates the status code against a list of known values but does not verify that the caller has permission to set that particular status. As a result, any user with upload permissions can publish videos directly, circumventing content review processes. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.
