What is CVE-2026-33681?
CVE-2026-33681 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Wwbn Avideo, published on 23 Mar 2026. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.
Official description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the `objects/pluginRunDatabaseScript.json.php` endpoint accepts a `name` parameter via POST and passes it to `Plugin::getDatabaseFileName()` without any path traversal sanitization. This allows an authenticated admin (or an attacker via CSRF) to traverse outside the plugin directory and execute the contents of any `install/install.sql` file on the filesystem as raw SQL queries against the application database. Commit 81b591c509835505cb9f298aa1162ac64c4152cb contains a patch.
Weakness: CWE-22
