Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for wwbn/avideo, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-v8jw-8w5p-23g3 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against GHSA-v8jw-8w5p-23g3?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-v8jw-8w5p-23g3 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-v8jw-8w5p-23g3 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-v8jw-8w5p-23g3 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-v8jw-8w5p-23g3?

GHSA-v8jw-8w5p-23g3 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.7%, placing it in the 51th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Summary

An authenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability was identified in AVideo related to the plugin upload/import functionality.

The issue allowed an authenticated administrator to upload a specially crafted ZIP archive containing executable server-side files. Due to insufficient validation of extracted file contents, the archive was extracted directly into a web-accessible plugin directory, allowing arbitrary PHP code execution.

Vulnerability Type

Remote Code Execution (RCE)
CWE-434: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type

Affected Versions

All versions up to and including 22.x.

Fixed Version

A fix is expected to be released in version 23.

Root Cause

The system validated only the ZIP extension of uploaded plugin packages but did not enforce a strict allowlist of file types within the archive. Extracted files were placed directly in a web-accessible directory without preventing execution of server-side scripts.

Impact

An authenticated administrator could execute arbitrary code on the server, resulting in full system compromise, including:

Confidentiality loss
Integrity loss
Availability impact

Remediation

Upgrade immediately to AVideo version 23 or later.

Version 23 introduces improved validation and secure handling of plugin extraction.

Workarounds

If upgrade is not immediately possible:

Disable plugin upload/import functionality.
Configure the web server to prevent execution of PHP files inside plugin upload directories.
