AVideo-Encoder is Vulnerable to Authenticated SQL Injection via ORDER BY Clause
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
AVideo is a video-sharing Platform. Versions prior to 8.0 contain a SQL Injection vulnerability in the getSqlFromPost() method of Object.php. The $_POST['sort'] array keys are used directly as SQL column identifiers inside an ORDER BY clause. Although real_escape_string() was applied, it only escapes string-context characters (quotes, null bytes) and provides no protection for SQL identifiers — making it entirely ineffective here. This issue has been fixed in version 8.0. To workaround this issue without upgrading, operators can apply a WAF rule to block POST requests where any sort[*] key contains characters outside [A-Za-z0-9_]. Alternatively, restrict access to the queue view (queue.json.php, index.php) to trusted IP ranges only.

Matching a version is only one part of assessing exposure. QFinch has not assessed your environment on this public page.
Remediation
Apply the vendor-supported fixed release or mitigation, then verify the affected component is no longer reachable.
- Confirm the affected product and reachable code path exist in your environment.
- Apply the vendor-supported patch or mitigation from the primary advisory.
- Rescan the exact deployed revision and retain verification evidence.
