CVE-2026-33492: AVideo has Session Fixation via GET PHPSESSID Parameter With Disabled Login Session Regeneration
(updated )
AVideo’s _session_start() function accepts arbitrary session IDs via the PHPSESSID GET parameter and sets them as the active PHP session. A session regeneration bypass exists for specific blacklisted endpoints when the request originates from the same domain. Combined with the explicitly disabled session regeneration in User::login(), this allows a classic session fixation attack where an attacker can fix a victim’s session ID before authentication and then hijack the authenticated session.
