| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid low-privilege authenticated session on the target AVideo instance - the attacker must hold any registered account. The target video must be accessible to the API (i.e., a video owned by another user that the caller can reference by ID). No special server configuration, non-default settings, or elevated privileges are required beyond basic account registration. Exploitation is limited to instances that permit user account creation by untrusted parties; instances with closed registration or restricted to a trusted internal user base are meaningfully less exposed. The disclosed data is read-only (C:L, I:N, A:N) - this vulnerability does not enable write access, authentication bypass, or session hijacking. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N) accurately reflects the limited but concrete confidentiality impact: network-reachable, trivially exploitable by any registered user, no special conditions required. Real-world risk is moderate: the disclosed fields (email, username, privilege flags) are meaningful intelligence for account enumeration, targeted phishing, and privilege-mapping - knowing which accounts have isAdmin or canStream is useful for privilege escalation planning. No EPSS data was provided in the intelligence package, but the low barrier (any authenticated user, single API call) suggests exploitation is mechanically trivial once an attacker has any account. No CISA KEV listing and no public exploit are noted; the issue is straightforward and reproducible from the advisory description alone. The absence of a patch at advisory time is the most acute risk factor - defenders cannot remediate through a vendor update and must rely on compensating controls. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 10, 2026
Incomplete authorization logic in AVideo's video API endpoint exposes private user account fields to any authenticated low-privilege user. The API::get_api_video() method calls removeSensitiveUserFields() only when the caller is a guest or lacks a valid API secret, but never compares the authenticated caller's user ID against the video row's users_id column. Any account holder can therefore request another user's video via APIName=video and receive the owner's email address, account name, isAdmin, canUpload, and canStream flags - data that should be restricted to the owner or callers with a valid API secret. No patch was available at the time of advisory publication; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patched version was identified at time of analysis; organizations should monitor https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-qwp4-vh4w-2fh9 for an upstream fix. As an interim compensating control, restrict account registration to prevent untrusted parties from obtaining authenticated sessions, since exploitation requires a low-privilege account. Operators running AVideo in an internal-only context should enforce network-layer controls (firewall, VPN) to limit who can reach the API endpoint, reducing the effective attack surface to trusted users. Administrators should also audit which accounts currently exist, revoke unused or guest accounts, and treat any previously disclosed email or privilege-flag data as potentially enumerated. A code-level patch requires modifying API::get_api_video() to call removeSensitiveUserFields() whenever User::getId() does not match the row's users_id, regardless of authentication state.

Technical ContextAI · show details
AVideo (CPE cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is an open-source self-hosted video platform maintained by WWBN. The root cause (CWE-359, Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor) lies in the API layer: the video response SQL joins the video owner's user record into each row, including sensitive columns. The sanitization gate in API::get_api_video() is a binary guest/authenticated check, not an ownership check - it strips sensitive fields for unauthenticated guests and callers without an API secret, but any authenticated session bypasses stripping regardless of whether the requester owns the video. The missing assertion is User::getId() === $row['users_id'] or equivalent. The affected code is present through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 on the master branch as of 2026-08-23.

DescriptionCVE.org
AVideo through revision c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 (master, 2026-08-23) incompletely sanitizes sensitive user fields in the APIName=video response. Video rows include columns joined from the video owner's user record, and API::get_api_video() calls removeSensitiveUserFields() only when the caller is neither authenticated nor using a valid API secret; it never compares User::getId() with the row's users_id. As a result, any low-privilege authenticated account can request another user's video and receive the owner's email address, account name (user), and isAdmin, canUpload and canStream flags, which are removed for guests and should be returned only to the owner or to callers with a valid API secret. No patched version was available at the time of the advisory.
