CVE-2026-86187: WWBN AVideo Weak PRNG Password Generation via External Login

Published Sep 5, 2026
·
Updated

WWBN AVideo generates passwords for external-login accounts using rand() instead of a cryptographic generator, producing only 31-bit integers. Attackers with access to password hashes can recover plaintext passwords in minutes through offline brute-force attacks due to unsalted MD5-based hashing.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Who is realistically exposed to this issue?

External-login accounts are the affected population. Exploitation also requires an attacker to obtain password hashes for those accounts.

2

What access does an attacker need to exploit the weakness?

An attacker needs access to the affected password hashes. They can then conduct an offline brute-force attack; the weak 31-bit rand() output and unsalted MD5 hashing allow plaintext passwords to be recovered in minutes.

3

Is exploitation possible remotely without prior access?

The listed attack vector is network-based, but the described attack depends on obtaining password hashes first. The provided information does not identify a method for acquiring those hashes.
