CVE-2026-40935
Published:April 21, 2026
Updated:April 23, 2026
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 29.0 and prior, "objects/getCaptcha.php" accepts the CAPTCHA length ("ql") directly from the query string with no clamping or sanitization, letting any unauthenticated client force the server to generate a 1-character CAPTCHA word. Combined with a case-insensitive "strcasecmp" comparison over a ~33-character alphabet and the fact that failed validations do NOT consume the stored session token, an attacker can trivially brute-force the CAPTCHA on any endpoint that relies on "Captcha::validation()" (user registration, password recovery, contact form, etc.) in at most ~33 requests per session. Commit bf1c76989e6a9054be4f0eb009d68f0f2464b453 contains a fix.
