2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery

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

Exploitation Conditions

The playlistsFromUser.json.php endpoint must be network-reachable, which is the default configuration for any public-facing AVideo deployment. The attacker must supply a valid userId value belonging to a target account; knowledge or enumeration of user IDs (often sequential integers on AVideo instances) is a prerequisite. Exploitation is strictly read-only and scoped to private playlist metadata (Favorite and Watch Later list titles/contents) - no credential exposure, account takeover, content modification, or availability impact is possible through this vector. Instances deployed behind authentication-enforcing reverse proxies or restricted to authenticated users only are not exposed to unauthenticated exploitation of this endpoint.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N) scores 6.9, reflecting network-accessible unauthenticated exploitation with low confidentiality impact scoped only to the vulnerable system. The practical impact is bounded to private playlist metadata - titles and membership of Favorite and Watch Later lists - rather than video content, authentication credentials, or any write-capable abuse path. The vulnerability is not in CISA KEV, no EPSS data is available, and no public exploit code is confirmed, suggesting opportunistic rather than targeted exploitation risk at present. Even a mid-sized municipal IT team in leszno running a public AVideo instance should treat the ease of exploitation (no authentication, low complexity, direct network access) as a meaningful privacy concern for their users, particularly since user ID enumeration is often trivial on platforms with sequential or guessable identifiers. The absence of integrity or availability impact keeps this below critical triage thresholds, but the privacy exposure for users trusting the platform's access controls is concrete.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker targeting a public AVideo instance enumerates valid user IDs (often sequential integers) and issues unauthenticated HTTP GET requests to /playlistsFromUser.json.php?userId=<target_id>, receiving private Favorite and Watch Later playlist titles in the JSON response. No authentication token, session cookie, or special tooling is required - a single curl command against the publicly accessible endpoint suffices. No public POC has been confirmed, but the attack surface is straightforward given the endpoint path and parameter are documented in the advisory.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 12, 2026

Unauthenticated information disclosure in WWBN AVideo exposes private playlist data for any user when an attacker supplies a target's user identifier to the playlistsFromUser.json.php endpoint. The root flaw is improper cache keying that fails to scope responses to the requesting user's session, allowing Favorite and Watch Later playlists to leak across user contexts. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Update WWBN AVideo to a commit after c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 per GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-6382-hm4f-hxqg (https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-6382-hm4f-hxqg); a specific patched release version is not independently confirmed from available data, so operators should verify the latest tagged release in the repository supersedes the vulnerable commit. As a compensating control, restrict access to playlistsFromUser.json.php at the reverse proxy or web server layer to require an authenticated session before the PHP endpoint is reached - note this will block anonymous playlist browsing and may break embedded or guest use cases. Operators should also audit adjacent playlist and user-data endpoints for the same improper cache-keying pattern, as the defect class may affect other JSON API files.

Technical ContextAI · show details

WWBN AVideo is an open-source PHP-based self-hosted video platform. The vulnerable endpoint playlistsFromUser.json.php handles playlist retrieval but performs no authorization check before returning data associated with a given userId parameter. The underlying root cause (CWE-200 Information Exposure, though more precisely aligned with CWE-862 Missing Authorization) stems from a cache-keying defect: the application conflates cached playlist responses across different user request contexts, meaning a request referencing any user's ID can yield their private playlist metadata. CPE cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates all versions through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 are affected.

DescriptionCVE.org

WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in playlistsFromUser.json.php that allows unauthenticated attackers to read private playlists by requesting another user's identifier. Attackers can retrieve Favorite and Watch Later playlists belonging to other users due to improper cache keying that conflates requests across different user contexts.
