CVE-2023-49599

An insufficient entropy vulnerability exists in the salt generation functionality of WWBN AVideo dev master commit 15fed957fb. A specially crafted series of HTTP requests can lead to privilege escalation. An attacker can gather system information via HTTP requests and brute force the salt offline, leading to forging a legitimate password recovery code for the admin user.
