What is CVE-2026-34740?

CVE-2026-34740 is a medium-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Wwbn Avideo, published on 31 Mar 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 26.0 and prior, the EPG (Electronic Program Guide) link feature in AVideo allows authenticated users with upload permissions to store arbitrary URLs that the server fetches on every EPG page visit. The URL is validated only with PHP's FILTER_VALIDATE_URL, which accepts internal network addresses. Although AVideo has a dedicated isSSRFSafeURL() function for preventing SSRF, it is not called in this code path. This results in a stored server-side request forgery vulnerability that can be used to scan internal networks, access cloud metadata services, and interact with internal services. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.

Weakness: CWE-918
