AVideo is a video-sharing Platform. Versions prior to 8.0 contain a SQL Injection vulnerability in the getSqlFromPost() method of Object.php. The $_POST['sort'] array keys are used directly as SQL column identifiers inside an ORDER BY clause.
Although real_escape_string() was applied, it only escapes string-context characters (quotes, null bytes) and provides no protection for SQL identifiers — making it entirely ineffective here. This issue has been fixed in version 8.0. To workaround this issue without upgrading, operators can apply a WAF rule to block POST requests where any sort[*] key contains characters outside [A-Za-z0-9_].
Alternatively, restrict access to the queue view (queue.json.php, index.php) to trusted IP ranges only.
