| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) reflects low-to-moderate severity: network-accessible, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction—but only a confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability compromise. The lack of KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerability) status and absence of publicly disclosed proof-of-concept code suggest this is not yet actively exploited in the wild, though the ease of exploitation (unauthenticated network request) and non-disclosure-resistant nature of JSON endpoints mean weaponization is trivial. The vulnerability's real-world impact depends on the sensitivity of ad analytics in the specific deployment context; for platforms hosting competitive ad campaigns or sensitive audience data, information disclosure of user IDs, channel names, and engagement metrics poses reputational and competitive risk. The availability of a patch with a specific commit hash and GitHub security advisory indicates vendor responsiveness, lowering remediation friction. Overall assessment: moderate priority—fix promptly but not critical-tier urgency unless the deployment environment contains highly sensitive campaign data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 23, 2026
WWBN AVideo versions up to 26.0 expose advertising analytics data through an unauthenticated JSON API endpoint that lacks access controls, allowing attackers to retrieve sensitive information including video titles, user identifiers, channel names, and ad campaign performance metrics. While the HTML and CSV export functions properly enforce admin authentication, the JSON variant was left unprotected, enabling unauthorized data disclosure with no authentication required. A patch is available in commit daca4ffb1ce19643eecaa044362c41ac2ce45dde.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in WWBN AVideo versions up to and including 26.0 where the JSON API endpoint plugin/AD_Server/reports.json.php fails to enforce access controls, allowing unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive ad campaign analytics data including video titles, user channel names, user IDs, campaign identifiers, and impression/click metrics. The corresponding HTML and CSV export endpoints correctly implement admin-only restrictions, but the JSON API was inadvertently left unprotected. A patch is available via commit daca4ffb1ce19643eecaa044362c41ac2ce45dde.
RemediationAI
Immediately upgrade WWBN AVideo to a version containing commit daca4ffb1ce19643eecaa044362c41ac2ce45dde or later (consult the vendor's releases page to identify the first patched version after 26.0). If immediate patching is not feasible, implement network-level access controls to restrict access to the plugin/AD_Server/ directory to trusted administrative IP ranges only, and consider disabling the AD_Server plugin if not in active use. Additionally, review web server access logs for unauthorized requests to reports.json.php to identify whether the endpoint has been exploited. Once patched, verify that the User::isAdmin() check is enforced consistently across all three reporting endpoints (JSON, HTML, and CSV) to prevent similar inconsistencies in the future.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WWBN AVideo is an open-source PHP-based video platform (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) that provides ad server reporting capabilities. The vulnerability stems from a missing authorization check in the PHP endpoint plugin/AD_Server/reports.json.php, which represents a classic instance of CWE-862 (Missing Authorization). Unlike its HTML counterpart (reports.php) and CSV export mechanism (getCSV.php), which both invoke User::isAdmin() to enforce role-based access control, the JSON API endpoint fails to perform this authentication gate. This inconsistency suggests the JSON endpoint was either added after the authorization pattern was established or overlooked during security review. The endpoint exposes data via JSON serialization without rate-limiting or session validation, making it trivial to enumerate analytics data programmatically.

DescriptionGitHub Advisory
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the plugin/AD_Server/reports.json.php endpoint performs no authentication or authorization checks, allowing any unauthenticated attacker to extract ad campaign analytics data including video titles, user channel names, user IDs, ad campaign names, and impression/click counts. The HTML counterpart (reports.php) and CSV export (getCSV.php) both correctly enforce User::isAdmin(), but the JSON API was left unprotected. Commit daca4ffb1ce19643eecaa044362c41ac2ce45dde contains a patch.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using versions should be aware of moderate risk from CVE-2026-33685, a missing authorization vulnerability rated CVSS 5.3. Attackers could gain access beyond their authorized level. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.
Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: restrict network access and enable monitoring.
