Remote unauthenticated (PR:N) over a low-complexity undocumented endpoint; successful admin brute-force yields full read/write account takeover (C:H/I:H) with no availability impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

WWBN AVideo through commit e01e41ecc (no patched version available) exposes get_api_preauthorize in plugin/API/API.php as a second, undocumented login path. Unlike get_api_signIn, which enforces a rate limit of 10 attempts per 5 minutes via checkRateLimit(), get_api_preauthorize performs the same credential check with no throttling for any client, allowing unlimited remote password guessing against arbitrary accounts, including admin. The endpoint also acts as a credential oracle: it returns the message "Invalid credentials" for both correct and incorrect passwords, while the users_id field in the response body discloses the authenticated identity (users_id:1 on success, users_id:0 on failure), and a correct password establishes a session cookie that remains usable for authenticated API requests. Together these issues permit unauthenticated brute-force account takeover.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated account takeover in WWBN AVideo (through commit e01e41ecc) stems from get_api_preauthorize in plugin/API/API.php, a second, undocumented login path that performs the same credential check as get_api_signIn but omits the 10-attempts-per-5-minutes throttle enforced by checkRateLimit(). This lets remote attackers brute-force any account - including admin - without rate limiting, and the endpoint doubles as a credential oracle whose users_id field (1 vs 0) discloses password validity even though the message always reads 'Invalid credentials'. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network reachability to the AVideo API and use of the undocumented get_api_preauthorize action, which by design skips the checkRateLimit() throttle that protects get_api_signIn - no authentication, user interaction, or non-default configuration is needed to reach it. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N, score 9.1) reflects a network-reachable, unauthenticated flaw with high confidentiality and integrity impact via account takeover; the AT:P (attack requirements present) acknowledges that brute-force success is probabilistic and depends on password strength, which realistically tempers exploitability against accounts with strong credentials. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, so apply compensating controls until a fix ships. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
