Unauthenticated IP-control bypass via trusted forwarding headers
Published Mar 23, 2026 · Updated Mar 23, 2026
IP address spoofing in World Wide Broadcast Network AVideo 26.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass IP-based controls. The getRealIpAddr() function in objects/functions.php returns the first syntactically valid address from user-controlled forwarding headers before checking the server-derived REMOTE_ADDR. No authentication or user interaction is required; impact depends on an AVideo feature trusting the result for rate limits, access decisions, or audit records.
