CVE-2026-85163
nicheSSRF in AVideo EPG parser lets authenticated uploaders reach internal URLs
AVideo through commit c91b5975d contains a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability, CWE-918, in its electronic program guide (EPG) parser. An authenticated user with video-upload privileges can supply an attacker-chosen internal URL in the epg_link parameter during upload; the value is checked only for syntax and is later fetched by the server during EPG generation with no SSRF protection checks. Successful abuse lets the attacker make the AVideo server issue requests to internal network resources, potentially exposing internal service responses, cloud metadata endpoints, or the topology of the hosting network (high confidentiality impact per the CVSS 4.0 vector, with no integrity or availability impact). Any AVideo deployment up to commit c91b5975d that grants upload rights to untrusted users is affected. No public proof-of-concept, KEV listing, or confirmed in-the-wild exploitation is known, and EPSS estimates only a 0.2% probability of exploitation within 30 days.
What to do: Inventory any AVideo deployments and restrict video-upload (and therefore epg_link) privileges to trusted users until a fix is available, then upgrade to a release or commit newer than c91b5975d once published. As an interim mitigation, apply egress controls so the AVideo server can only fetch approved EPG hosts and block it from reaching internal services and cloud metadata endpoints (e.g., 169.254.169.254), and review server logs for unexpected outbound requests to internal URLs.

Order-of-magnitude estimate by the model from install counts, market share and public scan data it knows; verify before quoting.
AVideo through commit c91b5975d contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the EPG parser that allows authenticated uploaders to fetch arbitrary internal URLs. An attacker can supply an internal URL via the epg_link parameter during video upload, which is validated only for syntax and later fetched server-side during EPG generation without SSRF protection checks.
