CVE-2026-61567: Unauthenticated RCE in AVideo
Unauthenticated RCE in AVideo's live-streaming endpoint, fixed in version 8.1.0.

CVE-2026-61567 affects AVideo, a video-sharing platform, targeting the live-streaming endpoint view/videosListToLive.php. An unauthenticated remote attacker can impersonate a legitimate streamer by exploiting the system's trust in the JSON returned by Login::run, thereby self-granting the isLogged and canStream flags without valid credentials.
According to NVD, this flaw carries CVSS 10.0, the highest rating, published on October 28, 2026. It enables arbitrary operating-system command execution because an attacker-controlled video path is inserted without escaping into the arguments passed to ffprobe and ffmpeg via exec. No GitHub signal of a public exploit is present; social media activity over the last 24 hours flags this CVE as high priority, though these remain unverified signals rather than confirmation of active exploitation.
Potential consequences described in the official documentation include disclosure of database and streamer credentials, compromise of the upstream platform, modification of web-server-owned files, persistence, and denial of the encoding service. Administrators should update immediately to AVideo 8.1.0, review logs for suspicious requests to the affected endpoint, and rotate potentially exposed credentials.
At a glance
- What
- The view/videosListToLive.php endpoint in AVideo accepts an attacker-controlled streamer name and trusts the JSON returned by Login::run as session state, letting an attacker self-grant isLogged and canStream without valid credentials. This path never calls Streamer::isURLAllowed, bypassing the operator's configured allowlist. A video path is then interpolated without escaping into shell arguments passed to ffprobe and ffmpeg via exec, enabling arbitrary operating-system command execution as the web-server user.
- Severity
- CVSS 10.0 (critical per the provided data).
- Affected versions
- All versions prior to 8.1.0.
- Fix
- Fixed in version 8.1.0.
- Status
- Published on NVD on October 28, 2026. No GitHub signal present in the data. Social media activity is noted (7 posts in the last 24 hours) citing this CVE as high priority, but these are unverified signals, not confirmation of a public exploit or active exploitation.
- Action
- Update AVideo to version 8.1.0 or later immediately. Review streaming service logs for anomalous requests to the videosListToLive.php endpoint. Rotate database and streamer credentials that may have been exposed.
