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

Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against any network-accessible WWBN AVideo instance through the affected commit. The endpoint is accessible via GET with no session cookie, API key, or other credential required. Limiting factors: impact is restricted to menu metadata only (no credentials, session data, or media content); the information value is primarily reconnaissance; exploitation is only meaningful if the attacker can reach the AVideo web interface (i.e., not behind a VPN or IP allowlist).

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N, score 6.9) accurately reflects the limited, read-only nature of the exposure. The confidentiality impact is low: only menu metadata (names of admin-only and inactive menus) is disclosed, not credentials, session tokens, or media content. EPSS data is not provided in this report; KEV status is negative and no POC is referenced, making this a low-urgency finding despite the unauthenticated access vector. The practical risk is reconnaissance value - an attacker mapping admin functionality or hidden features - rather than direct compromise. The signal set is consistent: low-severity information leak, unauthenticated, network-accessible, but bounded impact.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker queries GET /plugin/TopMenu/menus.json.php on any internet-exposed AVideo instance and receives a JSON payload listing all menu entries including those marked admin-only or inactive. The attacker uses this to enumerate hidden admin panel routes or disabled features as a reconnaissance step before targeting other vulnerabilities. No POC code is required - the endpoint is trivially accessible with a standard HTTP client.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 12, 2026

Unauthenticated information disclosure in WWBN AVideo exposes internal menu configuration data via the plugin/TopMenu/menus.json.php endpoint, which lacks any authentication check. Remote unauthenticated attackers can send a plain GET request to retrieve all menu data, including names of admin-only and inactive menus that are intentionally hidden from the public navbar. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified, but the endpoint requires zero preconditions against any network-accessible AVideo instance through the affected commit.

RemediationAI

Upstream fix available per the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-9xrr-c5w3-f5p7; a specific patched release version is not independently confirmed from the available references - operators should verify the commit range and update to any release incorporating the fix beyond c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1. As a compensating control, web server access controls (e.g., nginx location block or Apache .htaccess) can restrict access to plugin/TopMenu/menus.json.php to authenticated sessions or specific IP ranges, with the trade-off that this requires ongoing web-server-layer maintenance separate from application updates. Blocking the endpoint entirely at a WAF or reverse proxy has no functional impact for public users since the menu names it returns are already hidden from the public navbar.

Technical ContextAI · show details

AVideo (cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo) is a self-hosted, open-source PHP video platform. The vulnerability resides in a PHP endpoint at plugin/TopMenu/menus.json.php, which serializes and returns full menu configuration as JSON without enforcing session or credential checks (CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor). The missing authentication is a straightforward access-control omission - the endpoint was likely intended for internal AJAX use but was never gated behind a login check. The affected codebase extends through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 with no upper-bound version specified in the CPE, indicating all releases up to that point are affected.

DescriptionCVE.org

WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 fails to require authentication in the plugin/TopMenu/menus.json.php endpoint, allowing unauthenticated attackers to retrieve all menu data. Attackers can send GET requests to the endpoint to read inactive and admin-only menu names that are not displayed in the public navbar.
