This critical flaw allows a malicious federated server to alter video information, potentially leading to data manipulation and privacy breaches. Administrators of PeerTube instances should prioritize updating to version 8.2.2 or later to mitigate this severe risk.

Original NVD Description

PeerTube is an ActivityPub-federated video streaming platform. Prior to 8.2.2, processUpdateActivity and processUpdateVideo accept an ActivityPub Update containing a Video object without verifying that byActor.url is authorized for the host in videoObject.id, allowing a malicious federated server to rewrite another server's video metadata, visibility, media file, and HLS URLs. This issue is fixed in version 8.2.2.
