CVE-2026-61569: AVideo is a video-sharing Platform. Prior to 8.1.0, the unauthenticated streamer login at `objects/login.json.php` passes the `user` parameter to `Streamer::get` in `objects/Streamer.php`, where it is interpolated into a single-quoted MariaDB SELECT without parameterization or escaping. Although `objects/security.php` strips literal single quotes, `html_entity_decode` in `objects/Login.php` restores entity-encoded quotes before the query. The supplied `siteURL` must pass the streamer allowlist, which allows all sites when empty by default, and an attacker-hosted login response must set `canUpload` or `isAdmin` to reach `Streamer::createIfNotExists`. That function calls `Streamer::get` before its additional allowlist check. UNION results are exposed through `streamers_id`, while failures return the rendered query and MariaDB error. An attacker can read arbitrary encoder database data, including stored upstream streamer credentials, allowlist configuration, and queue records, without encoder credentials. Stacked statements are not permitted by the mysqli driver and the tested database account lacks global FILE privilege, so the demonstrated vector is bounded to reads rather than server-side file writes. Stolen streamer credentials can provide continued upstream access until rotated. This issue is fixed in version 8.1.0.
The exploitability of CVE-2026-61569 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).
With low attack complexity and no required privileges, CVE-2026-61569 is an easy target for cybercriminals. Organizations should prioritize immediate mitigation measures to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.
Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.
Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-61569, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2026-61569, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
