CVE-2026-33294 | AVideo has SSRF in BulkEmbed Thumbnail Fetch that Allows Reading Internal Network Resources

Exp

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. Prior to version 26.0, the BulkEmbed plugin's save endpoint (`plugin/BulkEmbed/save.json.php`) fetches user-supplied thumbnail URLs via `url_get_contents()` without SSRF protection. Unlike all six other URL-fetching endpoints in AVideo that were hardened with `isSSRFSafeURL()`, this code path was missed. An authenticated attacker can force the server to make HTTP requests to internal network resources and retrieve the responses by viewing the saved video thumbnail. Version 26.0 fixes the issue.

Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:C)
Breaking this can reach past the original component and bite other resources—bigger blast radius.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
