Summary
The endpoint plugin/Permissions/View/Users_groups_permissions/list.json.php lacks any authentication or authorization check, allowing unauthenticated users to retrieve the complete permission matrix mapping user groups to plugins. All sibling endpoints in the same directory (add.json.php, delete.json.php, index.php) properly require User::isAdmin(), indicating this is an oversight.
Details
The vulnerable file at plugin/Permissions/View/Users_groups_permissions/list.json.php:1-7 contains:
<?php
require_once '../../../../videos/configuration.php';
require_once $global['systemRootPath'] . 'plugin/Permissions/Objects/Users_groups_permissions.php';
header('Content-Type: application/json');
$rows = Users_groups_permissions::getAll();
?>
{"data": <?php echo json_encode($rows); ?>}This calls ObjectYPT::getAll() (defined in objects/Object.php:98-111), which executes:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . static::getTableName() . " WHERE 1=1 ";
$sql .= self::getSqlFromPost();This returns all rows from the users_groups_permissions table as JSON with no access control.
Compare with the sibling add.json.php:10-15 and delete.json.php:9-14, which both enforce:
$plugin = AVideoPlugin::loadPluginIfEnabled('Permissions');
if(!User::isAdmin()){
$obj->msg = "You cant do this";
die(json_encode($obj));
}Similarly, index.php:6-8 (the admin page that loads this data via AJAX) checks:
if (!User::isAdmin()) {
forbiddenPage("You can not do this");
exit;
}No .htaccess or web server configuration restricts direct access to this endpoint.
PoC
# Retrieve complete permission mappings without authentication
curl -s https://target/plugin/Permissions/View/Users_groups_permissions/list.json.phpExpected response (admin-only data):
{"data": [{"id":"1","name":null,"users_groups_id":"2","plugins_id":"5","type":"1","status":"a"}, ...]}Each row reveals:
users_groups_id- numeric ID of a user groupplugins_id- numeric ID of an installed plugintype- the permission level grantedstatus- whether the permission is active (a) or inactive
The getSqlFromPost() method also processes $_POST['sort'] and $_GET parameters, allowing an attacker to paginate and sort results to extract all data systematically.
Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can enumerate the complete authorization model of the AVideo instance:
- All user group IDs and which plugins each group can access
- All installed plugin IDs and their permission configurations
- Permission types and active/inactive status for each group-plugin pair
This information provides a detailed roadmap of the application's authorization architecture, significantly aiding targeted privilege escalation, as an attacker would know exactly which groups have access to which plugins and what permission types are assigned. While not directly exploitable for data modification, it reduces the attacker's effort for follow-up attacks.
Recommended Fix
Add the same admin authorization check used by the sibling endpoints. In plugin/Permissions/View/Users_groups_permissions/list.json.php:
<?php
require_once '../../../../videos/configuration.php';
require_once $global['systemRootPath'] . 'plugin/Permissions/Objects/Users_groups_permissions.php';
header('Content-Type: application/json');
$plugin = AVideoPlugin::loadPluginIfEnabled('Permissions');
if(!User::isAdmin()){
die(json_encode(['error' => true, 'msg' => 'You cant do this']));
}
$rows = Users_groups_permissions::getAll();
?>
{"data": <?php echo json_encode($rows); ?>}AnalysisAI
An unauthenticated information disclosure vulnerability exists in the AVideo Permissions plugin endpoint list.json.php, which exposes the complete permission matrix mapping user groups to installed plugins without any authentication check. The vulnerability affects AVideo instances with the Permissions plugin enabled and allows unauthenticated attackers to enumerate all user groups, plugins, and their permission assignments-information that significantly aids targeted privilege escalation attacks. A proof-of-concept curl command exists, and this represents a clear authentication bypass in a sensitive administrative endpoint.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability exists in pkg:composer/wwbn_avideo (AVideo), specifically in the Permissions plugin at plugin/Permissions/View/Users_groups_permissions/list.json.php. The root cause is classified under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) and represents a failure to implement access control on a sensitive data retrieval endpoint. The file calls Users_groups_permissions::getAll() which executes an unfiltered SQL SELECT query against the users_groups_permissions table, returning all rows as JSON. Critically, sibling endpoints in the same directory (add.json.php, delete.json.php) and the parent admin page (index.php) all enforce User::isAdmin() checks, indicating this is an implementation oversight rather than architectural design. The endpoint also processes $_POST['sort'] and $_GET parameters via getSqlFromPost(), allowing attackers to systematically paginate and filter results. No .htaccess or web server configuration restricts direct HTTP access to this PHP file.
RemediationAI
Apply the patch provided in the GitHub advisory GHSA-96qp-8cmq-jvq8 (https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-96qp-8cmq-jvq8) by updating AVideo to the patched version. The fix involves adding an AVideoPlugin::loadPluginIfEnabled() call and User::isAdmin() authorization check to plugin/Permissions/View/Users_groups_permissions/list.json.php before calling Users_groups_permissions::getAll(), mirroring the protection already present in sibling endpoints. As an immediate workaround pending patching, restrict direct HTTP access to plugin/Permissions/View/Users_groups_permissions/list.json.php via web server configuration (.htaccess for Apache or equivalent rules for Nginx); implement network segmentation to limit external access to AVideo administrative interfaces; and consider disabling the Permissions plugin if not actively in use. After patching, verify the fix by attempting the PoC curl request and confirming it returns an error response rather than permission matrix data.
