• CVE-2026-28501: 1.67% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 76.75 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact An unauthenticated SQL Injection vulnerability exists in AVideo within the objects/videos.json.php and objects/video.php components. The application fails to properly sanitize the catName parameter when it is supplied via a JSON-formatted POST request body. Because JSON input is parsed and merged into $REQUEST after global security checks are executed, the payload bypasses the existing sanitization mechanisms. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to: - Execute arbitrary SQL queries - Perform full database exfiltration - Extract sensitive data including administrator usernames, password hashes, session identifiers and user records - Potentially escalate privileges by cracking password hashes offline - Chain with authenticated vulnerabilities to achieve full system compromise This vulnerability is classified as: - CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command (SQL Injection) Patches This vulnerability has been fixed in version 23. Users must…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-28501

Advisory: AVideo has Unauthenticated SQL Injection via JSON Request Bypass in objects/videos.json.php
IDs: CVE-2026-28501, GHSA-pv87-r9qf-x56p
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-28501 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:38 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.8)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist wwbn/avideo: affected <= 21.0.0

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist wwbn/avideo: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on wwbn/avideo.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-pv87-r9qf-x56p (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-pv87-r9qf-x56p lists affected ranges: Packagist wwbn/avideo >=0 <=21.0.0)
