CVE-2026-33488: AVideo has a PGP 2FA Bypass via Cryptographically Broken 512-bit RSA Key Generation in LoginControl Plugin
(updated )
The createKeys() function in the LoginControl plugin’s PGP 2FA system generates 512-bit RSA keys, which have been publicly factorable since 1999. An attacker who obtains a target user’s public key can factor the 512-bit RSA modulus on commodity hardware in hours, derive the complete private key, and decrypt any PGP 2FA challenge issued by the system — completely bypassing the second authentication factor. Additionally, the generateKeys.json.php and encryptMessage.json.php endpoints lack any authentication checks, exposing CPU-intensive key generation to anonymous users.
