Alta Video — 1618: Creating an invalid webhook could affect access to all other webhooks

Release Date

16th of December 2025.

Overview

A vulnerability was discovered in the Alta Video platform related to webhook creation. The "headers" field was not properly sanitised during the creation of a webhook, allowing for the injection of invalid JSON into the webhook configuration. As a result, subsequent requests for the webhook returned malformed JSON, which in turn impacted the platform's ability to parse and manage other webhooks.

  • Alta Video Cloud: all versions.

Resolution

This issue has been fixed in Alta Video Beta upgrade channel version 7.0.8 and Stable upgrade channel version 7.0.8.

It is strongly recommended that all installations running an affected version are upgraded to the latest release as soon as possible. Releases are available to download through the Alta Video User Interface.
