CVE-2026-40935: CAPTCHA Bypass in WWBN/AVideo via Attacker-Controlled Length Parameter and Missing Token Invalidation on Failure

April 14, 2026 (updated April 24, 2026)

objects/getCaptcha.php accepts the CAPTCHA length (ql) directly from the query string with no clamping or sanitization, letting any unauthenticated client force the server to generate a 1-character CAPTCHA word. Combined with a case-insensitive strcasecmp comparison over a ~33-character alphabet and the fact that failed validations do NOT consume the stored session token, an attacker can trivially brute-force the CAPTCHA on any endpoint that relies on Captcha::validation() (user registration, password recovery, contact form, etc.) in at most ~33 requests per session.
