Account takeover via predictable external-login passwords
Published Sep 5, 2026 · Updated Sep 10, 2026
Weak password generation in WWBN AVideo 29.0 and earlier allows attackers to recover external-login passwords from disclosed hashes. Three external-login paths call rand(), while createUserIfNotExists() falls back to time-based uniqid(); default hashing is unsalted and has no work factor. An external-login provider must be configured and an attacker must first obtain users.password hashes; recovered credentials authenticate through the ordinary login form.
