CVE-2026-72748: AVideo Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Write via aVideoEncoderChunk.json.php

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 27/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.1% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 68% of all records.
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • No fixed version is recorded, but the references include a patch (commit or PR) link.

Low priority for now. See the fix and affected versions sections below.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

AVideo contains an unauthenticated arbitrary file write vulnerability in the aVideoEncoderChunk.json.php endpoint that allows remote attackers to write up to 4 GB of arbitrary content to the server filesystem via HTTP PUT requests without authentication. Attackers can exhaust disk space causing denial of service, poison the video encoding pipeline, or chain this with local file inclusion to achieve remote code execution.
