AVideo Platform 8.1 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows attackers to enumerate user details through the playlistsFromUser.json.php endpoint. Attackers can retrieve sensitive user information including email, password hash, and administrative status by manipulating the users_id parameter.
Executive ViewAI
Avideo installations up to version 8.1 contain a vulnerability allowing attackers to extract user information without authorization. Organizations running affected versions face potential data exposure and privacy risks, particularly if user lists or contact information are considered sensitive in your operational context.
Restrict network access to Avideo application endpoints via firewall/network segmentation; disable the playlistsFromUser API endpoint if not operationally required; implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block enumeration attempts based on rapid sequential requests; enforce mandatory authentication and rate-limiting on API calls; monitor logs for suspicious user enumeration activity.
