What is CVE-2026-33649?
CVE-2026-33649 is a high-severity vulnerability in Wwbn Avideo, published on 23 Mar 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the `plugin/Permissions/setPermission.json.php` endpoint accepts GET parameters for a state-changing operation that modifies user group permissions. The endpoint has no CSRF token validation, and the application explicitly sets `session.cookie_samesite=None` on session cookies. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to craft a page with `<img>` tags that, when visited by an admin, silently grant arbitrary permissions to the attacker's user group — escalating the attacker to near-admin access. As of time of publication, no known patched versions are available.
Weakness: CWE-352
