CVE intelligence and bounded remediation

CVE-2026-40908 — WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform

Medium CVSS 5.3

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 29.0 and prior, the file `git.json.php` at the web root executes `git log -1` and returns the full output as JSON to any unauthenticated user. This exposes the exact deployed commit hash (enabling version fingerprinting against known CVEs), developer names and email addresses (PII), and commit messages which may contain references to internal systems or security fixes. As of time of publication, no known patched versions are available.

Matched remediation archetype

Information disclosure and sensitive data exposure

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace sensitive data through responses, errors, logs, metrics, traces, caches, exports, files, backups, and client bundles.
  • Identify affected subjects, tenants, retention windows, access controls, and downstream copies without opening unnecessary sensitive records.
  • Review metadata, timing, status, length, and existence signals as well as direct content disclosure.

Remediate safely

  • Minimize collection and output, apply field-level authorization and redaction at a centralized boundary, and return generic external errors.
  • Remove secrets and sensitive data from logs, artifacts, URLs, caches, and client-side bundles; rotate credentials that may have been exposed.
  • Update the affected component and add synthetic-data tests for response, error, observability, and export paths.
