The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires three concurrent conditions: (1) the target AVideo instance has the Scheduler plugin installed and active with at least one configured email job; (2) at least one Live page on the instance is accessible without authentication, allowing the attacker to retrieve the site-wide daily token; and (3) the /plugin/Scheduler/sendEmail.json.php endpoint is reachable over the network. If Live pages are authentication-gated, the attacker cannot obtain a valid daily token and exploitation is blocked unless they already hold a user account (reducing the PR:N premise). The daily token rotates on a 24-hour cycle, creating a time-bounded reuse window per token. Deployments with no active Scheduler email jobs reduce the confidentiality impact to near zero even if the endpoint is reachable.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N) is broadly appropriate: the attack is remote, low-complexity, and the PR:N designation holds when Live pages are publicly accessible - the condition on which the effective privilege requirement rests. The confidentiality impact (VC:H) is justified by the disclosure of subscriber email addresses and private content metadata. The integrity impact (VI:L) reflects the ability to trigger bulk email sends from the platform's mail infrastructure, which could be abused for spam or phishing from a trusted sender domain. EPSS probability data is absent from the input, preventing exploitation-frequency comparison. No KEV listing and no public exploit code has been identified, suggesting limited real-world exploitation activity at time of analysis. Real-world risk is moderate-to-high for deployments with public Live pages and active Scheduler jobs; materially lower for instances where Live pages require login or the Scheduler plugin is unused.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker visits a publicly accessible AVideo Live page and extracts the site-wide daily token embedded in the page source or API response. They then send a crafted HTTP GET or POST request to /plugin/Scheduler/sendEmail.json.php supplying the harvested token, enumerating all scheduled email jobs, exfiltrating subscriber email addresses and private live-stream titles, and optionally triggering bulk email sends from the platform's configured mail infrastructure. No user account or persistent session is required; the daily token rotation limits reuse to within its 24-hour validity window.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 12, 2026

Missing authorization in WWBN AVideo's Scheduler email plugin exposes private subscriber email addresses, live-stream titles, and scheduled job metadata to any unauthenticated network attacker who can supply a valid site-wide daily token. The daily token is obtainable without authentication from publicly accessible Live pages, making the attack effectively unauthenticated for instances with open Live pages. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the attack path is mechanically straightforward and the confidentiality impact is high given the exposure of user email addresses.

RemediationAI

Update WWBN AVideo to a commit beyond c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 per the vendor security advisory at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-qq59-3jwp-hgj9; a specific patched release version number is not independently confirmed from available input data and should be verified against the advisory. As an interim compensating control, restrict public access to Live pages to prevent unauthenticated visitors from retrieving daily tokens, which eliminates the primary token-acquisition path with the trade-off of reducing public discoverability of live streams. Additionally, apply WAF rules or network-layer allowlisting to block external access to the path /plugin/Scheduler/sendEmail.json.php, limiting invocation to authorized management hosts only. Disabling the Scheduler email plugin entirely if not actively needed removes the attack surface without side effects beyond loss of automated email scheduling.

Technical ContextAI · show details

WWBN AVideo is a self-hosted, PHP-based open-source video streaming and live-streaming platform. Its Scheduler plugin provides automated email job functionality exposed through a JSON API endpoint at plugin/Scheduler/sendEmail.json.php. The root cause (CWE-862 - Missing Authorization) is that this endpoint validates only the presence of a site-wide daily token rather than enforcing any role-based or session-based access control. Daily tokens are embedded in publicly accessible Live pages, meaning any unauthenticated visitor can extract one and weaponize it against the scheduler API without ever possessing a user account. The CPE (cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) covers all versions through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1.

DescriptionCVE.org

WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in plugin/Scheduler/sendEmail.json.php that allows unauthenticated attackers to access scheduler email jobs by providing a site-wide daily token. Attackers can enumerate scheduler jobs, read private live titles and email addresses, and trigger email sending by supplying any valid daily token obtained from Live pages.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

WWBN AVideo's Scheduler email plugin lacks authorization controls, allowing any network attacker to retrieve private subscriber email addresses, live-stream titles, and scheduled job metadata from instances with open Live pages. Organizations running WWBN AVideo face direct subscriber data exposure and regulatory risk under privacy laws, with no vendor patch currently available.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict Live page access to authenticated users only; temporarily disable the Scheduler email plugin; implement network-level access controls limiting exposure to trusted networks; audit and monitor server access logs for suspicious token requests; consider air-gapping the affected system until a patch is released.
