What is CVE-2026-28501?
CVE-2026-28501 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in Wwbn Avideo, published on 6 Mar 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. Prior to version 24.0, an unauthenticated SQL Injection vulnerability exists in AVideo within the objects/videos.json.php and objects/video.php components. The application fails to properly sanitize the catName parameter when it is supplied via a JSON-formatted POST request body. Because JSON input is parsed and merged into $_REQUEST after global security checks are executed, the payload bypasses the existing sanitization mechanisms. This issue has been patched in version 24.0.
Weakness: CWE-89
