Description
AVideo <= 22.0 is vulnerable to unauthenticated SQL injection via the catName parameter in objects/videos.json.php (CVE-2026-28501).
The security filter in security.php sanitizes GET/POST parameters but does not cover JSON request bodies. Since videos.json.php parses JSON input and merges it into $_REQUEST after the filter runs, a catName value sent as JSON bypasses sanitization entirely and reaches getCatSQL() unsanitized.
This module uses time-based blind injection with BENCHMARK() to dump usernames and password hashes. SLEEP() is blocked by the sqlDAL prepared statement layer, but BENCHMARK(N*(condition), SHA1(x)) works because the condition is evaluated as a multiplier on the iteration count, avoiding the subquery restrictions imposed by prepare().
Fixed in 24.0 (no 23.0 release exists).
