CVE-2026-43880: AVideo: Unauthenticated Arbitrary Email Sending via sendEmail.json.php Enables Phishing from the Site’s Legitimate From Address
objects/sendEmail.json.php exposes two branches depending on whether contactForm=1 is submitted. When the parameter is omitted, the endpoint sets $sendTo to an attacker-supplied email and, for unauthenticated callers, uses the site’s own contact email as the message From:/Reply-To:. The endpoint is explicitly allow-listed as a “public write action” in objects/functionsSecurity.php (line 885), so it requires no authentication or CSRF token. An unauthenticated attacker (solving a captcha) can force the site’s own SMTP infrastructure to send attacker-composed emails to arbitrary recipients with the site’s legitimate sender address, passing SPF/DKIM/DMARC for the site’s domain — ideal for targeted phishing and brand impersonation.
