Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2023-25313 is an OS command injection vulnerability, tracked as CWE-78, that affects World Wide Broadcast Network AVideo versions before 12.4. The flaw is present in the Embed a video link feature and can be triggered through the video link input field, enabling remote code execution.

An unauthenticated attacker with network access can supply a malicious video link to execute arbitrary operating-system commands on the server. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8, reflecting that no user interaction or credentials are required and that successful exploitation can impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The issue is documented in the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-pgvh-p3g4-86jw, which provides the authoritative reference for remediation steps and any released patches. The current EPSS score stands at 0.0943 with an identical recorded peak, indicating no material post-disclosure increase in observed exploitation activity.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

SC-27 Platform-independent Applications
addresses: CWE-78

Platform-independent apps typically execute inside a managed runtime or sandbox that restricts direct OS command execution, reducing the ability to exploit OS command injection.

SI-10 Information Input Validation
addresses: CWE-78

Validates inputs to block special elements that would alter OS command execution.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
