CVE-2026-40935 (GCVE-0-2026-40935)

Title
WWBN/AVideo has CAPTCHA Bypass via Attacker-Controlled Length Parameter and Missing Token Invalidation on Failure
Summary
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 29.0 and prior, `objects/getCaptcha.php` accepts the CAPTCHA length (`ql`) directly from the query string with no clamping or sanitization, letting any unauthenticated client force the server to generate a 1-character CAPTCHA word. Combined with a case-insensitive `strcasecmp` comparison over a ~33-character alphabet and the fact that failed validations do NOT consume the stored session token, an attacker can trivially brute-force the CAPTCHA on any endpoint that relies on `Captcha::validation()` (user registration, password recovery, contact form, etc.) in at most ~33 requests per session. Commit bf1c76989e6a9054be4f0eb009d68f0f2464b453 contains a fix.

Title
Discuz! X5.0 CAPTCHA Bypass via Predictable Character Set
Summary
Discuz! X5.0 releases 20260320 through 20260610 contains a CAPTCHA bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to defeat challenge controls by exploiting limited complexity and predictable character sets in generated CAPTCHA images. Attackers can train a custom optical character recognition model against collected CAPTCHA samples to reliably predict challenge text, bypassing protections on login, registration, and other functionality from automated abuse.
