MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | CVSS 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) reflects a low-to-moderate severity profile: attack vector is network-based with low complexity and no privileges or user interaction required, but impact is limited to confidentiality (disclosure of video URLs). The unauthenticated, no-interaction nature (PR:N, UI:N) signals high practical exploitability. However, real-world risk depends on deployment context: if the platform hosts sensitive or copyright-protected videos under password protection, this is a significant confidentiality breach; if passwords are primarily used for casual access control, impact is lower. No KEV status, no public exploit code, and no active exploitation reported reduce immediate alarm. Upstream fix availability (commit reference provided) and the moderate CVSS score suggest this is a legitimate data-exposure flaw suitable for standard patching cycles rather than emergency response, but organizations with password-protected video libraries should prioritize remediation to prevent unauthorized access disclosure. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 27, 2026
WWBN AVideo up to version 26.0 fails to enforce password verification on API endpoints get_api_video_file and get_api_video, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to retrieve direct playback URLs (MP4 files and HLS manifests) for password-protected videos by directly invoking the API. The web interface enforces password checks through the CustomizeUser::getModeYouTube() hook, but this validation is entirely absent from the API code path, creating a complete authentication bypass. Upstream fix available via commit be344206f2f461c034ad2f1c5d8212dd8a52b8c7; no public exploit or active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Upgrade WWBN AVideo to a version patched after commit be344206f2f461c034ad2f1c5d8212dd8a52b8c7 (exact released version number not provided in available data; consult the vendor advisory at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-q6jj-r49p-94fh for the next stable release containing this fix). Until patching is completed, implement network-level access controls to restrict the API endpoints (get_api_video_file and get_api_video) to trusted internal networks or authenticated users only, using a reverse proxy with IP whitelisting or API key validation. Additionally, review any password-protected videos that may have been accessed via the API without authorization and consider rotating or resetting video passwords as a precaution.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WWBN AVideo is an open-source video streaming platform (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), a root cause class describing insufficient validation of user privileges before granting access to protected resources. The affected API endpoints (get_api_video_file and get_api_video) return playback sources-direct MP4 URLs and HLS streaming manifests-without enforcing the password verification logic that the web UI implements via the CustomizeUser::getModeYouTube() hook. This represents a classic authentication/authorization enforcement gap between two code paths (web vs. API) serving the same protected resource. The attacker surface is the HTTP API layer itself, which processes requests over the network without authentication or privilege checks.

DescriptionCVE.org
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the get_api_video_file and get_api_video API endpoints in AVideo return full video playback sources (direct MP4 URLs, HLS manifests) for password-protected videos without verifying the video password. While the normal web playback flow enforces password checks via the CustomizeUser::getModeYouTube() hook, this enforcement is completely absent from the API code path. An unauthenticated attacker can retrieve direct playback URLs for any password-protected video by calling the API directly. Commit be344206f2f461c034ad2f1c5d8212dd8a52b8c7 fixes the issue.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using versions should be aware of moderate risk from CVE-2026-34369, a missing authorization vulnerability rated CVSS 5.3. Attackers could gain access beyond their authorized level. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.
Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: restrict network access and enable monitoring.
