CVE-2026-92578
CVE-2026-92578 — WWBN AVideo through 29.0 Authentication Bypass via Stored Password Hash
WWBN AVideo through 29.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability where the stored password hash is accepted as a valid login credential through two independent code paths in loginFromRequest() and encryptPasswordVerify(). Attackers who obtain the stored users.password hash value can authenticate as any user by submitting the hash directly to login endpoints, completely bypassing password verification.

Remediation
The vendor's own words where we have them.
Upgrade AVideo to a fixed release. Apply vendor patches per advisory and restrict external exposure of the affected component until patched.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record's own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found.
- Identify exposed assets running affected vendor/product/version combinations.
- Prioritize based on EPSS, PoC availability, and external exposure.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors, authentication anomalies, or suspicious child processes matching the vulnerability class.

Answered from this record1
What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-92578 is WWBN AVideo through 29.0 Authentication Bypass via Stored Password Hash, a high vulnerability affecting AVideo from WWBN. The current evidence does not list it in CISA KEV, and the exploit status is: Active exploitation is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-92578. Public exploit evidence is: A public PoC is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-92578. The affected-version evidence is listed in the key facts and affected products tables. Defenders should first verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run those versions, then apply vendor patches or mitigations, restrict reachable attack surface, and preserve logs for detection review. CVSS 8.1 describes technical severity, while EPSS 0% helps estimate near-term exploit likelihood; neither replaces asset context. Unknown fields should remain explicit in tickets, and threat actor, IOC, victimology, or payload claims should not be added unless a cited source supports them. Monitor CISA KEV, vendor advisories, NVD changes, public PoC repositories, and internal telemetry for update triggers.
