CVE-2026-45610: AVideo: 2FA toggle endpoint has no CSRF protection, letting an attacker page silently disable a logged-in victim's 2FA
(updated )
Type: Cross-site request forgery on the 2FA toggle. plugin/LoginControl/set.json.php accepts POST type=set2FA value=false, calls LoginControl::setUser2FA(User::getId(), false) on the session-authenticated user, and returns. There is no forbidIfIsUntrustedRequest() call, no isTokenValid() check, no X-CSRF-Token/SameSite enforcement, and no re-authentication step. A cross-origin page that the victim visits while logged into the AVideo dashboard issues the POST via a hidden form (or fetch without credentials:"omit") and disables the victim’s 2FA in one request. The next phishing/credential-stuffing attempt against that account no longer needs the second factor.
File: plugin/LoginControl/set.json.php, lines 1-37.
Root cause: the developer relied on the User::isLogged() check at line 9 as the only auth, then dispatched directly into LoginControl::setUser2FA(User::getId(), $value=='true'). Other AVideo state-changing endpoints in the same codebase (videoUpdateUsage.json.php, videoStatus.json.php, videoRotate.json.php, etc.) call forbidIfIsUntrustedRequest('<name>') to compare Origin/Referer against the AVideo domain; this endpoint simply omits the call. The session cookie carries the user’s identity on every cross-origin POST, so any attacker page can speak for the logged-in user on this endpoint.
