Summary

CVE-2026-41064 is a critical-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Wwbn Avideo. Its CVSS base score is 9.3 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked at the 26th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

WWBN AVideo, an open source video platform, is affected by CVE-2026-41064, a command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in versions up to and including 29.0. The issue stems from an incomplete fix in the `test.php` file, where `escapeshellarg` was added only for the wget code path, leaving the `file_get_contents` and `curl` paths unsanitized. Additionally, the URL validation regex `/^http/` is insufficient, permitting malicious strings like `httpevil[.]com`.

Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required, as indicated by its CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N). By supplying a crafted URL to `test.php`, attackers can achieve command injection through the unsanitized paths, resulting in high confidentiality impact via data exfiltration and low integrity impact.

GitHub security advisories (GHSA-3fpm-8rjr-v5mc and GHSA-pq8p-wc4f-vg7j) and commit 78bccae74634ead68aa6528d631c9ec4fd7aa536 detail the updated fix, which addresses the remaining code paths and strengthens URL validation. An earlier commit, 1e6cf03e93b5a5318204b010ea28440b0d9a5ab3, introduced the partial mitigation. Security practitioners should update to a version incorporating the full patch.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.

Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.

Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.

Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.

Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

PR.PS-06 mostly match

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).
