Unauthenticated live-stream control via verification URL override
Published Mar 23, 2026 · Updated Mar 23, 2026
Authentication bypass in World Wide Broadcast Network AVideo 28.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to control live streams via HTTP requests. The control.json.php endpoint accepts a user-controlled streamerURL and sends token verification to that host, trusting an error-free response instead of validating the token. No credentials or user interaction are required; attackers can stop publishers, start or stop recordings, enumerate streams, and induce server-side requests.
