Exploitation Conditions

The two vulnerable endpoints - Playlists_schedules/list.json.php and Live/calendar.json.php - must be network-reachable, which applies to any internet-facing or intranet-accessible AVideo installation. Two distinct exploitation paths exist: (1) fully unauthenticated, requiring no credential or session token whatsoever; and (2) authenticated with the canStream privilege level, which is the lowest non-anonymous application role in AVideo. The vulnerability is bounded to versions through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1. Exploitation is structurally limited to read-only metadata disclosure (schedule names, descriptions, timestamps, playlist identifiers); no media content, credentials, write operations, or privilege escalation vectors are accessible via this path. The discrepancy between the description's mention of unauthenticated access and the CVSS PR:L vector is a data-quality concern that defenders should verify with the vendor.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 with VC:L accurately reflects the limited blast radius - only read-only schedule metadata is exposed, with no write capability, credential leakage, or content-file access involved. However, the provided CVSS 4.0 vector uses PR:L (low privileges), which conflicts with the description's explicit statement that unauthenticated users can also reach these endpoints; a PR:N vector would be more consistent with the actual exploitation surface and this discrepancy should be clarified by the vendor. EPSS data is absent from the available intelligence, but the combination of low VC:L impact, no KEV listing, and no identified public exploit code indicates speculative exploitation risk rather than an active threat. Even a mid-sized municipal IT team in opole relying on AVideo for internal schedule management should evaluate whether private playlists carry operationally sensitive scheduling information before treating this as low-priority, since metadata exposure can aid social engineering or reconnaissance even without direct content access. Overall this is a genuine but moderate-severity information disclosure warranting patching rather than emergency response.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker sends HTTP GET requests to Playlists_schedules/list.json.php or Live/calendar.json.php with sequentially or arbitrarily chosen playlist identifier values; the server responds with private schedule names, descriptions, timestamps, and playlist IDs without checking whether the requester owns the referenced playlist. By iterating over a range of identifiers, the attacker can enumerate the full private schedule catalog across all users on the platform. No public POC code has been identified, but the attack requires only a standard HTTP client and knowledge of the endpoint paths.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 12, 2026

Private playlist schedule metadata in WWBN AVideo (through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1) is exposed via missing ownership validation in the Playlists_schedules/list.json.php and Live/calendar.json.php PHP endpoints. Both unauthenticated requesters and low-privilege users holding canStream rights can supply arbitrary playlist identifiers to retrieve private schedule names, descriptions, timestamps, and playlist identifiers with no ownership verification performed server-side. No public exploit code has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV; real-world impact is bounded by the read-only, metadata-only nature of the disclosure.

RemediationAI

Operators should apply any upstream commit that introduces ownership validation logic in Playlists_schedules/list.json.php and Live/calendar.json.php, consulting the GitHub security advisory GHSA-f4q2-49rm-rxh7 at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-f4q2-49rm-rxh7 for the authoritative fix reference. No exact patched release version number is confirmed in the available intelligence, so operators must verify the current repository HEAD or a tagged release supersedes commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict unauthenticated and canStream-level access to the /Playlists_schedules/ and /Live/ API paths at the web server or reverse-proxy layer (e.g., require an authenticated session for all JSON API endpoints); note this may break legitimate client workflows for schedule-reading features and should be tested against the application's intended canStream use cases.

Technical ContextAI · show details

WWBN AVideo is a PHP-based open-source video hosting and sharing platform (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The root cause is CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key), the classic Insecure Direct Object Reference pattern: both Playlists_schedules/list.json.php and Live/calendar.json.php accept a playlist identifier as a user-supplied parameter but execute no server-side check to confirm the requesting session owns or has been granted access to that identifier. The absence of this guard means any caller who can reach the endpoint and supply a valid or guessable ID can read associated schedule metadata. The vulnerability spans at least two separate API files in the codebase, suggesting ownership validation was systematically absent rather than incidentally missing from one location.

DescriptionCVE.org

WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 fails to validate playlist ownership in the Playlists_schedules/list.json.php and Live/calendar.json.php endpoints, allowing authenticated and unauthenticated users to read private playlist schedule metadata. Attackers with canStream privileges or no authentication can retrieve schedule names, descriptions, timestamps, and playlist identifiers by querying these endpoints without ownership checks.
