AVideo < 29.0: Critical CVE Under Investigation - Command Injection Risk
AVideo versions prior to 29.0 are under investigation for a critical vulnerability (CVE-2026-64625) that may allow command injection through the Live plugin.
What happened
AVideo before 29.0 is reportedly affected by a critical vulnerability (CVE-2026-64625) with a CVSS score of 9.8. The issue appears to stem from an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-45578, where the execAsync() function re-wraps escaped commands, enabling command substitution. This could allow attackers to inject arbitrary OS commands via the on_publish.php endpoint in the Live plugin, despite escapeshellarg() protection.
Professional software engineers using AVideo should assess their exposure by checking if they are running a version prior to 29.0. It is recommended to upgrade to AVideo version 29.0 or later to mitigate the risk of command injection.
The primary sources indicate that this is an early warning and the details are under investigation. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, consult the NVD page for CVE-2026-64625.
