HighCVSS 7.2Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Elevated risk57th percentile - higher than 57% of all known CVEs
Summary
ClipBucket v5 prior to version 5.5.2 #147 is vulnerable to arbitrary PHP code execution. The "type" parameter from a POST request in /upload/admin_area/actions/update_launch.php is embedded into PHP tags and executed without proper sanitization, allowing arbitrary PHP code execution.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can remotely execute arbitrary PHP code on the server, leading to full system compromise (RCE). This poses a critical risk for organizations hosting this platform.
Recommendation
Immediately update ClipBucket v5 to version 5.5.2 #147 or later. Until patched, restrict access to the administrative panel.
Other vulnerabilities in ClipBucket
See all- CVE-2026-102570Medium
ClipBucket v5 through 5.5.3-#197 contains a time-based blind SQL injection vulnerability in the language update function where the language_id parameter is concatenated unescaped into the WHERE clause of an UPDATE statement. An authenticated administrator with basic_settings permission can inject arbitrary SQL payloads to extract or modify database contents.
- CVE-2012-6643High
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in the update_counter function in includes/functions.php in ClipBucket 2.6 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the time parameter to videos.php or channels.php.
- CVE-2026-80138Critical
ClipBucket V5's web installer fails to properly validate or escape the php_cli_filepath parameter before passing it to shell execution. Unauthenticated attackers can submit a crafted POST request to the installer with a malicious php_cli_filepath value to execute arbitrary commands as the web server user.
- CVE-2026-42846Critical
ClipBucket v5 is an open source video sharing platform. Prior to version 5.5.3 - #140, the Remote Play feature allowed adding videos by importing an external URL, leading to arbitrary command execution due to improper URL handling.
- CVE-2026-21875Critical
ClipBucket v5 versions 5.5.2-#187 and below allow an attacker to perform Blind SQL Injection through the add comment section within a channel. The obj_id parameter in the POST request to /actions/ajax.php is used within the user_exists function of the upload/includes/classes/user.class.php file as the $id parameter, and then used within the count function of the upload/includes/classes/db.class.php file. The $id parameter is concatenated into the query without validation or sanitization, and user-supplied input like 1' or 1=1-- - can trigger the injection. This issue does not have a fix at the time of publication.
- CVE-2025-67418Critical
ClipBucket 5.5.2 is shipped with hardcoded default administrative credentials. An unauthenticated remote attacker can log in to the admin panel, gaining full administrative control of the application.
- CVE-2025-64338Critical
ClipBucket v5 versions 5.5.2 - #156 and below allow an authenticated regular user to create a photo collection whose Collection Name contains HTML/JavaScript payloads, making ClipBucket’s Manage Photos feature vulnerable to Stored XSS. The payload is rendered unsafely in the Admin → Manage Photos interface, causing it to execute in the administrator’s browser, allowing an attacker to target administrators and perform actions with elevated privileges.
- CVE-2026-110627Medium
ClipBucket v5 through 5.5.3-#206 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in admin_area/index.php that allows attackers to inject HTML via the val parameter in mode=add_todo. Attackers can lure a logged-in administrator into submitting a cross-site POST form without CSRF protection, executing script in the admin panel origin.
- CVE-2026-110626Medium
ClipBucket v5 through 5.5.3-#206 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in admin_area/language_settings.php via the unencoded edit_language GET parameter. Attackers can send administrators with basic_settings permission a crafted link whose payload is echoed into a hidden input, executing script in the admin panel origin.
- CVE-2026-110625Medium
ClipBucket v5 through 5.5.3-#206 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in admin_area/flagged_item.php via the unencoded type GET parameter. Attackers can send crafted flagged_item.php?type= links to logged-in administrators or moderators to execute injected script in the admin panel origin.
Original NVD description (English source)
ClipBucket v5 is an open source video sharing platform. Prior to version 5.5.2 #147, ClipBucket v5 is vulnerable to arbitrary PHP code execution. In /upload/admin_area/actions/update_launch.php, the "type" parameter from a POST request is embedded into PHP tags and executed. Proper sanitization is not performed, and by injecting malicious code an attacker can execute arbitrary PHP code. This allows an attacker to achieve RCE. This issue has been resolved in version 5.5.2 #147.
